Indoor Air Quality Consulting, IAQ Consultants
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has become a major environmental issue for businesses,
building managers, tenants, and employees because it can impact their health,
comfort, and productivity. Indoor air quality concerns in the workplace have
increased over the last 25 years, as energy conservation methods have made office
buildings tighter and more synthetic building materials are used, allowing for the
buildup of indoor air contaminant’s. The cumulative effects of indoor air pollutants
can increase the risk of illness. Symptoms may include headaches, fatigue, itching
or burning eyes, skin irritation, nasal congestion, irritated throats, sneezing and
nausea. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that poor indoor air
quality may cost employers tens of billions of dollars each year in medical costs,
employee sick leave and lost production.
Indoor air quality concerns in the workplace can be caused by:
- Heating, Ventilating & Air Conditioning System Deficiencies
- Overcrowding
- Pesticides & Formaldehyde
- Toxic Mold
- Dust
|
- Out gassing of building materials & furnishings
- Lead & Asbestos
- Tobacco Smoke
- Biological & Chemical contamination
- Outside Air Pollution
|
The job of controlling indoor air quality in buildings continues to get more
difficult as new IAQ Health and Safety regulations are enacted by Environmental
Protection Agency, (EPA), OSHA, and local governments. Although most buildings
do not have severe indoor air quality problems, even well run buildings can
experience episodes of poor indoor air quality.
