Air Pollutants Healthy Air Solutions Site Info ] Subscribe To This Site Indoor Air Pollution a Global Tragedy Indoor Air pollution a global tragedy? Could that really be so? Please read this brief explanation to learn why indoor air pollutants have become such a major health concern today. Then pick an issue that may be affecting you today and do a little exploring. Enjoy and good health to you! Index of Indoor Air Pollutants What’s your perception of air pollution? Where would you feel safer? Fact… Recent studies have shown that indoor air is often more polluted than outdoor air. In fact indoor air is quite often a cause of greater health problems than the polluted air we may encounter outside our homes. Consider this… How much time do you spend indoors? Of course, the answer will vary. The truth is... in our modern non-agricultural society, Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors! 65% of that time is spent in our own homes. Another thought… How do we build homes today? The tighter the better has been the rule for years. Yes, we strive to seal every leak to keep the fresh air out. The result... we are forced to breathe what ever the box that we live or work in contains!

HOME ABOUT US Business Philosophy Experience ... CONTACT US Indoor Air Quality You are here : home Services The need for clean air in our homes should not be underestimated. We spend an average of 90% of our time inside; and our homes contain many substances that may be hazardous to our health. Indoor air pollutants range from minor irritants such as dust and animal dander, to major irritants such as moulds and chemical vapours that may be emitted from building materials and furnishings. It is important to be aware of how air contaminants can affect our health and to adopt corrective measures that will improve indoor air quality in our homes. There are numerous contaminants that are of concern when evaluating indoor air quality.  Some of the common indoor air contaminants, and their main sources, include the following: Carbon dioxide (CO2): from tobacco smoke, perfume, body odours. Dust, fibreglass, asbestos, gases, including formaldehyde: from building materials. Toxic vapours, volatile organic compounds (VOCs): from workplace cleansers, solvents, pesticides, disinfectants, glues. Gases, vapours, odours: from off-gas emissions from furniture, carpets, and paints.

64. Indoor Air Quality - Issues, Guidance, Information And News Looking for detailed information about indoor air quality, air purifiers, etc. It's all here,f ree from EHSO. http://www.ehso.com/indoorai.htm

Indoor Air Quality Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health but may not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant effects. EPA studies of human exposure to air pollutants indicate that indoor air levels of many pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasion more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants are of particular concern because it is estimated that most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors. Over the past several decades, our exposure to indoor air pollutants is believed to have increased due to a variety of factors, including the construction of more tightly sealed buildings, reduced ventilation rates to save energy, the use of synthetic building materials and furnishings, and the use of chemically formulated personal care products, pesticides, and household cleaners. In recent years, comparative risk studies performed by EPA and its Science Advisory Board have consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health. EPA, in cooperation with other Federal agencies and the private sector, is involved in a concerted effort to better understand indoor air pollution and to reduce people's exposure to air pollutants in offices, homes, schools and other indoor environments where people live, work, and play.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has determined that indoor air can actually have 2-5 times higher concentrations of harmful pollutants than outdoor air. Although some individual pollutants may not pose a significant risk to our health, a combination of sources can, over time, create serious health problems. A common source for these hazards is the building materials used in new homes. These materials can release airborne particles or fumes for several years, giving a home that "new home smell." With builders constructing tighter homes to reduce energy costs, these fumes cannot escape. Meanwhile, owners of older homes face concerns from wood, furnishings, and fabrics which naturally break down over time, radon and mold from previously damp duct systems or carpet.

Why is Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in Schools Important? Poor indoor air quality can hasten building deterioration. One study of an elementary school showed that if $8,140 had been spent over 22 years on preventive maintenance, $1.5 million in repairs could have been avoided . In addition, poor indoor air quality can contribute to the closing of schools, create liability problems, and strain relationships among parents, teachers, and the school administration.

Over the past 20 years, ACC has completed hundreds of indoor air quality evaluations in all types of buildings and occupational settings. Baseline Indoor Air Quality Studies HVAC Evaluations Many times poor indoor air quality is a result of inadequate ventilation. To determine if the HVAC system is operating properly, ACC’s IAQ professionals review maintenance records, inspect the equipment, and obtain ventilation readings at air supply registers to determine if the system meets recommended ASHRAE ventilation requirements. Indoor Air Quality Testing Once potential sources of contaminants are identified, ACC’s IAQ professionals utilize the latest sampling and analytical equipment to determine the levels of contaminants that can cause of IAQ problems. Common contaminants ACC test for include; carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds (VOC’s), formaldehyde, fungal spores, and particulates. Corrective Action Plans Once the baseline study, HVAC evaluation, and air quality testing is completed, ACC’s IAQ professionals develop a Corrective Action Plan for the building. The plan provides recommendations to correct current IAQ problems and prevent future problems. If the plan requires the services of an outside contractor, ACC will work with the client to obtain bids for the work and manage the contractor during the work.

Summary Indoor air pollution is among the top five environmental health risks. Usually the best way to address this risk is to control or eliminate the sources of pollutants and ventilate a home with clean outdoor air. But opportunities for ventilation may be limited by weather conditions or by contaminants in the outdoor air. Two types of air-cleaning devices can remove particles from the air: mechanical air filters and electronic air cleaners.

78. Indoor Environment Notebook: Question Of The Week An expert answers questions related to indoor air pollution, sick building syndrome, and irritants. Includes a question of the week section. http://www.bsu.edu/web/IEN

This website is updated weekly/bimonthly at the end of a week. School Health Complaints Not Due to Mold Testing was done in one of our elementary schools due to staff complaints about headaches, fatigue, and other symptoms. The testing was also prompted by water infiltration due to roof leaks. The highest level of Aspergillus/Penicillium in one classroom was 252 (count per cubic meter). Other molds at lower concentrations were: Alternaria (21), Ascospores (84), Basidiospores (42), Cladiosporium (42), Epicoccum (21), Myxomycetes (42), Pestalotia (21) and Pithomyces (42). Outdoor testing did not indicate the presence of any of these mold spore types. Testing was done in the winter in northern Massachusetts. Should we have any concerns for the health of students and staff? Brian , New Hampshire These test results do not indicate that a mold exposure problem exists in your school spaces where samples were collected. In addition to the fact that counts being relatively low, most spores identified are characteristically from outdoor mold genera. One can fairly ask why should there be outdoor mold present indoors when the outdoor sample did not have any of these mold genera present? That actually is easy to explain. Outdoor mold types under winter time conditions are fewer in number and different from those observed in other seasons. The indoor samples were likely collecting mold spores that entered the building in the past (most likely during the fall months). Such spores can go through many cycles of settling out and being re-suspended (months or more).
