Objective
To provide an overview of Indoor Air Quality,including the various factors that can impact anoffice-type building and environmentalmeasurements collection and remedial actions.
![Page 4: Indoor Air Quality - Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry Material/Indo… · o Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a term which refers to the air quality within and around buildings and](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042915/5f52220a29469d0a5f2a0d43/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
o The concept of IAQ first introduced amongscientific community in 1980 due to someoccurrences of „episodes indoors‟.
o At central headquarters of EPA building at Washington,D.C.- more than 100 people fell sick within 15 minutesof entering the office.
o In Los Angeles, CO level in most of the well insulatedbuildings was three times greater than the outside level.
o Such episodes indoors in developed nations endedup with formulation of IAQ Standards &Identification of “Sick Buildings”
Historical Prospective

o Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a term which refers tothe air quality within and around buildings andstructures, especially as it relates to the healthand comfort of building occupants.
o The quality of air inside the building includinggaseous composition, humidity, temperature andair contaminants.
What is IAQ
![Page 6: Indoor Air Quality - Bombay Chamber of Commerce and Industry Material/Indo… · o Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a term which refers to the air quality within and around buildings and](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022042915/5f52220a29469d0a5f2a0d43/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
WHO
o Estimates that more than 30% of all commercialbuilding have significant IAQ problems.
EPA
o People spend over 90% of their time indoors.
o Indoor Air Pollutants 2-5 times higher than foundoutside.
