Indoor air quality is very important. On average, people in industrialized nations spend about 90% of their time indoors, and most of that is in their homes. The unfortunate thing is that modern homes can contain substances that are potentially hazardous to our health. These range from normal dust, to major irritants, such as the chemical vapor off-gassing from the newer synthetic building materials being used today. Indoor air quality is often referred to as the sleeping giant of the building industry. It can be 10 times worse than outdoor air on smoggy days in big cities. Of all the chemicals that EPA regulates, only two are more prevalent outdoors than inside our homes and schools. This is a quiet epidemic brewing right under our noses. As the complexity of houses, especially with the dawn of synthetic products, increase, so do the risks to human health, not only for the chemically sensitive and the allergy sufferers but for all of our children.

Illinois Education Association Indoor Air Quality IEA-NEA Indoor Air Quality Committee Home Talking Points Training Opportunities Who We Are New Training Opportunity - NEA-EPA Symposium Sick Schools Are Bad For Everyone These questions will help find the solution: Do you or your members have sinus problems that seem to erupt mostly at school? Do you have persistent sore throats and headaches at school on a regular basis? Is your building or school room stuffy or musty smelling? Are diesel bus fumes entering your classroom? Does your school or classroom contain foul odors and/or water leaks? Is there visible or suspected mold infestation at school? Does student instruction sometimes suffer because students or teachers are lethargic? Do your eyes burn or water when you enter certain parts of your school building? Do your students complain of allergic reactions when they enter your school or certain rooms at school? Does your building sometimes have a “toxic” smell after cleaning, shampooing carpets or pesticide use? Is your room or building starved for “fresh air” ?

Member Login Indoor Air Quality Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) is now recognized as a major problem and poses a serious threat to public health. Recent studies find that most people spend up to 90% of their time indoors and can be exposed to a wide variety of contaminants such as radon, asbestos, volatile organic chemicals, combustion by-products, tobacco smoke, biological contaminants, microorganisms, etc. Moreover, the concentration levels of these contaminants can be higher inside buildings (indoor) than outdoor (ambient) air. According to the American Conference of Governmental of Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) 1999 publication, Bioaerosols: Assessment and Control To help our clients (industry, municipalities, school districts and residential homeowners) determine if they have an Indoor Air Quality problems OSEA can provide the following services: Risk Assessments Complaint Investigations Health effects Evaluations Energy Conservation Evaluations Ventilation Studies Space Configuration Reviews Building Material Reviews Expert Witness Testimony Intended Occupancy and Building Factor Reviews When contaminants emanate from tobacco smoke, photocopy machines, new furniture, carpeting and battery chargers or microbial growth in ventilation systems, etc., reaches unhealthy levels, serious problems can result. When occupants of buildings begin to complain of persistent or reoccurring headaches, irritation of the upper respiratory tract, eye irritation, and/or general discomfort, a study of the quality of the air in the building is recommended. Potential indoor air problems and their sources can be identified through the use of questionnaires, evaluations, chemical testing and ventilation system inspections. IAQ problems based on NIOSH studies primarily involve:

87. LBNL-IED-Ventilation And Indoor Environmental Quality Explains about research that is being performed at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Offers explanation of ventilation rates, volatile organic compounds (VOC s), sick building syndrome, and particle filtration. Page includes information about projects, publications, and staff. http://eetd.lbl.gov/ied/viaq/viaq.html

This web page was prepared by the Indoor Environment Department (IED) Staff of the Environmental Energy Technologies Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. It contains results of recent research concerning ventilation and indoor air quality. The audience for this web site is meant to be building managers, architects, and other building professionals. The information on this web site is based on research performed by the IED and on research by others. The IED conducts research on energy-efficient ventilation, pollutant transport, particle control, and health and productivity in commercial buildings. The research methods employed by this department include controlled laboratory studies, extensive multi-disciplinary field studies, modeling, and reviews and syntheses of data. Associated research topics include the following: Ventilation Rates and Technologies For commercial and residential buildings, how are ventilation rates measured, what are the effects of ventilation on building occupants and what are the effects of the ventilation rate on pollutant concentrations? Indoor VOC's Indoor air quality is important to human health because individuals spend a large fraction of their time indoors at their residences, schools and workplaces. In addition, there are numerous sources of airborne toxic pollutants in these indoor environments where outdoor air ventilation provides the only primary means to dilute pollutant concentrations. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) are one class of indoor pollutants that may cause irritation to building occupants.

Information resources Indoor air pollution WHO Programmes and projects Indoor air pollution Main content Indoor air pollution More than three billion people worldwide continue to depend on solid fuels, including biomass fuels (wood, dung, agricultural residues) and coal, for their energy needs. Cooking and heating with solid fuels on open fires or traditional stoves results in high levels of indoor air pollution. Indoor smoke contains a range of health-damaging pollutants, such as small particles and carbon monoxide, and particulate pollution levels may be 20 times higher than accepted guideline values. According to Global Health Risks: Mortality and burden of disease attributable to selected major risks indoor air pollution is responsible for 2.7% of the global burden of disease. WHO’s Programme on Indoor Air Pollution To combat this substantial and growing burden of disease, WHO has developed a comprehensive programme to support developing countries.
