Indoor Air Quality Consulting, IAQ Consultants

Indoor Air Quality Consulting

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.
