According to the report by WHO one third of the new buildings around the world are not fit for human use because of indoor pollution.
Thus, indoor air quality IAQ inspection must be done.
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the quality of air inside and around structures and buildings represented by thermal conditions and the presence of pollutants which affect the comfort, health and performance and work ability of occupants.
Sometimes indoor air can be even more polluted than outdoor air and people s exposure is also more because of the time spent indoors.
There are many source of indoor contaminants and pollutants that disrupts indoor air quality like pollen, skin particles, dust, VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) in varnishes, wax, pesticides etc, formaldehyde in many household products and building materials, Tobacco smoke, body odours, perfume, carbon dioxide, dust mites from fabric, carpets, foam chair cushions, ozone from electric motors, photocopiers and electrostatic air cleaners, microbial contaminants as Fungi, Bacteria, Moulds from stagnant water, damp areas etc, inadequate or poorly designed ventilation systems may give rise to indoor air pollutants and many more.
assessment is very important to asses and estimate the quality of air that is present indoors.
This gives us idea as to what air is being respired by the occupants of that particular indoor area and thus calculating the risk of many minor and major long term issues like headache, skin irritation, nose, throat, eyes, fatigue, allergies, sinus, nausea and many other problems.
At most places, most common method of improving air quality is filtration, source control and use of ventilation to dilute contaminants.
There are guidelines to check the frequency of cleaning depending on the number of household members, children, pets, smokers etc and should be followed.
