Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is the quality of air in a home, living space or building. Poor IAQ can affect clarity, well being, and health of occupied buildings. Indoor Air pollutants such as gases, VOCs (volatile organic compounds), microbial contaminants, and particulates. There is evidence bad air impairs, and decreases productivity. IAQ can be controlled at the source, filtration or diluting. Ventilation and fresh air are key to improving indoor air quality.
IAQ can be tested by a collection of samples of air, logging exposure to contaminants, and surface samples. IAQ is a science and determining the pollutants solves many IAQ problems. Reducing or eliminating the pollution will create a healthy indoor ecological.
