Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. Understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors can help reduce your risk of indoor health concerns.
Health effects from indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after exposure or, possibly, years later.
Indoor air quality, or IAQ, refers to the condition of the air in your home. The aspects of IAQ include Temperature, Humidity, Air purity, and Air freshness.
When these conditions aren't properly managed, it can lead to poor indoor air quality. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the air inside your home can be up to ten times more polluted than the air outside.
Indoor air may contain contaminants such as tobacco smoke, dust particles, mold spores, and chemicals, such as formaldehyde (from carpets, plywood, paints, adhesives etc.) or volatile organic compounds (VOCs), like benzene (found in cigarette smoke and other products like glues and paints, etc). These contaminants circulate through the air and are distributed throughout our homes.
Controlling the release of contamination, flit ration and the use of ventilation to dilute contaminants are the main methods used to improve indoor air quality in buildings. Cleaning carpets and area rugs are another way to maintain indoor air quality in homes and office buildings.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has guidelines for how frequently buildings should be cleaned based on traffic, the number of household members, pets, children, and smokers.
