  3. The company in charge of cleaning the space has been contacted to find out the type of products used, as well as the protocols that is followed.

Subsequently, a campaign of measurements, tests and analyzes has been carried out that has included:

  2. Measurements of indoor environment, particles and fibers, and formaldehyde test, to identify the quality of the environment and indoor air.
