What is Indoor Air Quality?
A healthy indoor environment is one in which the surroundings contribute to productivity, comfort and a sense of health and well being. The qualities of good indoor air include:
-
Introductions and distribution of adequate ventilation air
-
Control of airborne contaminants
-
Maintenance of acceptable temperature and relative humidity
Poor indoor air quality can cause problems and have serious consequences such as:
-
Increasing health problems such as cough, eye irritation, headache, and allergic reations
-
Reduced activity due to discomfort & stress and increased absenteeism from work
- Accelerated deterioration of furnishings and equipment
Why should you be concerned with Indoor Air Quality?
For many years, health athorities and governmental agencies have raised awareness to the dangers of outdoor air pollution and have concentrated their efforts on finding ways to reduce pollutants generated by automobiles, factories, construction and mining.
Over the past two decades, scientists have been carefully examining the indoor air environment of our offices, factories and homes and they have found this environment to be even more hazardous to our health than outdoor air.
Indoor air contaminants can originate within the buildign or be drawn in from outdoors. Particulate matter can come from far away places like blowing desert sands and volcanic eruptions or from nearby sources such as pollinating trees, industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, cleaning chemicals & pesticides. If these contaminant sources are not controlled, IAQ problems can arise. Statistics show that 1 out of 5 (50 million) Americans suffer from allergies caused by substances found in the home and office. Deaths related to asthma have risen 40% in the past two decades.
