WHAT IS INDOOR AIR QUALITY?

INDOOR AIR QUALITY is defined as the air quality within and around buildings in relation to health, wellness, and comfort of building occupants. Affecting employees’ health and productivity, it has been a major concern to businesses.
We spend 90% of our time indoors, whether at home or at the office, making us prone and more exposed to various indoor pollutants which may cause adverse health effects.
In addition, it has become a significant environmental issue due to increased building occupancy, usage of synthetic materials, and modernization of equipment.

SICK BUILDING SYNDROME

The sick building syndrome comprises of various nonspecific symptoms that occur in the occupants of a building. This feeling of ill health increases sickness absenteeism and causes a decrease in the productivity of the workers. -NCBI

Building occupants complain of symptoms associated with acute discomfort, e.g., headache; eye, nose, or throat irritation; dry cough; dry or itchy skin; dizziness and nausea; difficulty in concentrating; fatigue; and sensitivity to odors. Most of the complainants report relief soon after leaving the building. -EPA

Primary causes of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) are:

  • Inadequate ventilation
  • Indoor chemical contaminants (adhesives, carpeting, upholstery, manufactured wood products, copy machines, pesticides, and cleaning agents)
  • Outdoor chemical contaminants (vehicle exhaust, building exhaust, and tobacco smoke)
  • Biological contaminants (bacteria, mold, virus, and pollen)

INDOOR AIR QUALITY ASSESSMENT

The goal of an indoor air quality assessment is to identify and solve indoor air quality complaints in a way that prevents them from recurring and which avoids the creation of other problems. To complete this assessment, it is necessary for our indoor technicians and specialists to discover whether a complaint is actually related to indoor air quality, identify the cause of the complaint, and determine the most appropriate corrective actions.
