Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is a topic of increasing concern to environmental health professionals. Most people spend over 90% of their time indoors and for some contaminants exposure to indoor air poses a potentially greater health threat than outdoor air exposures.
The last 15 years have been punctuated by concern over several specific indoor air contaminants including formaldehyde, radon, asbestos, and environmental tobacco smoke. Emerging concerns include exposure to combustion contaminants, microorganisms, pesticides, volatile organic compounds, and mixtures of contaminants. In addition, it is becoming more evident that many indoor air quality problems are inextricably linked to indoor climatic conditions including temperature, humidity, and rates of ventilation.
