Just what is “good” indoor air quality?
At the core of the issue is the effect of indoor air components – microbiological, chemical or particulate – on the well-being and productivity of the occupants. It is well documented that poor indoor air quality may adversely affect both health and productivity. In this context, allergic reactions, exacerbation of asthmatic responses, and fatigue are clearly negative impacts. To achieve “good” indoor air quality, we must eliminate those elements from the indoor environment that contribute to making the occupants ill or unproductive.
