WHAT’S POLLUTING THE AIR QUALITY IN YOUR HOME OR WORK PLACE?
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) has become one of today’s leading health concerns, as most people
spend over 80% of their time indoors. The outside environment, ventilation systems, con-
struction materials, furniture, carpeting, paints, and cleaning solutions are a few of the
many factors that contribute to the quality of indoor air.
The ventilation system has been cited as a prime contributor to Sick Building Syndrome. This
can be due to poor design, improper maintenance, or incorrect operation. It may even be as
simple as a change from an initial home or oce layout, which can aect system eciencies.
It is important to distinguish between Sick Building Syndrome and Building Related Illnesses:
• Building Related Illnesses are identifiable, and can be attributed directly to specific
airborne contaminants, such as Legionnaire’s Disease.
• Sick Building Syndrome is used to describe a situation in which those spending
extended time in a building, such as daily employment, report or experience acute
on-site discomfort.
Providing better indoor air quality is everyone’s responsibility. There are many factors that we
can control to help provide better indoor air quality and a healthier building:
• Building and decorating with Green Products
• Eliminating harmful chemicals used for everyday cleaning
• Incorporating proper ventilation methods

3 components of poor
indoor air quality
Particulates – Very small solid or liquid
substances, such as dormant or living
organisms and inorganic or organic
compounds, that are light enough to
float in air.
Microbial – This category represents
germs, viruses, and bacteria. These
small organisms can only be seen
through a microscope, and are present
in every environment.
Chemical (Gaseous) – Hundreds of
gaseous pollutants, covering all
combustion gases and organic
chemicals (VOC’s), have been
detected in indoor environments.
Health effects vary widely and depend
on the types, concentrations, frequency
and duration of exposure.
