Indoor Air Pollution Solutions
It may not be easy to identify the reason for an IAQ complaint because of the number and variety of possible sources and causes. IAQ problems are generally handled on a "trial and error" basis, using the most logical approach first, rather than attempting to determine the exact identity of the contaminant. This approach can involve the examination of building air intakes and ducts, looking at air distribution systems, evaluating the amount of fresh air being supplied to the space, checking for tobacco smoke, considering the locations of office equipment, examining new conditions such as the installation of carpets or furnishings, and reviewing the use and storage of hazardous and odorous materials. Parameters checked during an investigation will depend on the specific complaint.
