Many factors can lead to poor indoor air quality (IAQ). Causes often include microbial or mold contamination, other contamination from inside or outside the building, poor ventilation, and other air contamination. The most common causes include contamination of filters, air handlers, ductwork, crawl spaces, attics, air intakes and exhausts.Poor air quality affects the health and well-being of occupants. Sick Building Syndrome refers a contaminated structure where the occupants suffer from a variety of health problems because of bad indoor air quality. The exact types of illnesses vary, and are hard to pinpoint. There might be an increase in illnesses, respiratory problems, or the allergy season becomes a year-round affair. When airborne contaminates are determined to be the cause of the illness, the structure is considered to have Building Related Illness, or BRI.
Indoor air pollution (IAP) is one of the most largest environmental issues in the United States. Unfortunately, no one is immune to the short-term and long-term effects of indoor air contaminants.
There is a growing public awareness of this environmental issue. Symptoms of poor indoor air quality vary and may depend on what contaminants are present. Reactions to IAP are often mistaken for other illness symptoms such as those from allergies, colds or influenza. The most common symptoms include, watery eyes, sneezing, coughing, headaches, dizziness, congestion and fatigue.
Poor indoor air quality can be in homes, offices and commercial buildings and in schools.
