Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality (iaq)

Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of the air inside buildings, which can significantly impact the health, comfort, and productivity of occupants. 
It is influenced by various factors, including the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), pollutants, temperature, humidity, and ventilation. 
Poor indoor air quality can be a result of high levels of contaminants, inadequate ventilation, or the presence of toxic substances, which can contribute to respiratory problems, allergies, or long-term health issues.

Guidelines
  • Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation to reduce pollutant concentrations. 
  • Pollutant Control: Minimize indoor sources of pollutants, such as tobacco smoke, cleaning chemicals, and radon.
  • Humidity Management: Maintain humidity levels between 30-50% to prevent mold and dust mites.
  • Air Filtration: Use air purifiers and replace filters regularly to improve air quality.
  • Temperature Regulation: Maintain comfortable temperatures (68-72°F or 20-22°C) for optimal air circulation.
  • Regular Maintenance: Clean HVAC systems, ducts, and ensure proper maintenance of heating/cooling systems.
  • Radon Testing: Regularly test for radon, especially in high-risk areas, and mitigate if necessary.
  • Use of Low-VOC Products: Choose paints, furniture, and cleaning products with low or no volatile organic compounds.
Health effects
Poor indoor air quality can cause respiratory issues, allergies, headaches, fatigue, and long-term diseases like asthma.
