    Extractions: CARPETING, INDOOR AIR QUALITY After receiving several hundred complaints about possible carpet-related health effects, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) commissioned a study by Hodgson and others at LBL of chemical emissions from carpets. Dozens of chemicals released from carpets were observed and 31 were positively identified. Emission levels of these chemicals were then compared to existing data about their health effects. As the measured emissions were considered peak values to which people would be exposed for only a few hours or days, they were compared only to known short-term health effects. No attempt was made to assess the possible effect of chronic or long-term exposure. As measured, none of the chemicals approached levels known to be hazardous upon short-term exposure. Of the chemicals released, most notable are styrene and 4-PC, both of which come from the SB latex backing that is used on 95% of carpets. Styrene is a known toxin and suspected carcinogen. 4-PC has not been shown to be toxic, but it has a detectable odor even at levels below one part per billion and is the chemical most responsible for the distinctive smell associated with new carpets. It is also less volatile than many of the other chemicals measured, so it continues to be emitted at measurable levels for a longer time. After the EPA headquarters incident, all the chemical companies supplying SB latex to the carpet industry joined forces to create the Styrene Butadiene Latex Manufacturers Council. The council coordinated response to public concerns about the material and sponsored several tests on the toxicity of 4-PC, none of which indicated toxic effects.

    Extractions: The building you work in is another indoor environment that can have air quality problems. Indoor air quality (IAQ) at the office or workplace is subject to much of the same IAQ problems at home. Building materials, carpets, cleaning products, tobacco smoke and ventilation share the same IAQ challenges as the home. However, some IAQ problems such as scents and fragrances, automobile exhaust, cleaning solvents, and manufacturing activities can be more common at the workplace. As an employee, your health may be at risk from poor IAQ at work. Poor IAQ can exacerbate allergies and asthma, cause eye, nose and throat irritation, or can result in fatigue, nausea or illness. The health effects of these symptoms can lead to poor work performance and productivity, as well as your own well being. In the long-term, these symptoms could also lead to sickness, missed work and loss of income. As an employer, it's your responsibility to ensure a safe and healthy work environment. Poor IAQ can impact the health of your employees and result in increased absenteeism, reduced productivity, and potential safety hazards. Increased health claims from IAQ related impacts or illnesses can be avoided. Talk to your employees today about their air quality concerns. The table below list some examples of IAQ problems in the workplace. Pressed-wood office furniture and carpet can be a source of formaldehyde Poor ventilation can exacerbate asthma and allergies

    Extractions: What is Secondhand Smoke? Breathing the smoke from someone else's cigarettes is called passive smoking or secondhand smoke. Exposure to secondhand smoke can occur in the home, workplace, social settings, and public places. More than 40 percent of children under 12 years of age live in a home with at least one smoker. Thirty-seven percent of nonsmoking adults live with someone who smokes, or they are exposed to smoke in the workplace. Health Effects of Secondhand Smoke We have heard of the health problems smokers can experience, such as lung cancer and heart disease. However, breathing secondhand smoke can also cause cancer. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that secondhand smoke causes approximately 3,000 lung cancer deaths each year in nonsmoking adults. It is less well known that secondhand smoke can cause serious health problems for children exposed to it. Some of those health problems include: an increased risk of bronchitis and pneumonia

    Extractions: Home Scope of Work Hot Topics Information Request As Americans, we spend nearly 90% of our time indoors. Indoor air is not always safe and comfortable especially in work settings. Although there are some applicable standards promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) , it is now clear that both comfort and human health can be affected by long-term exposure to pollutant levels well below published standards. Air pollutants are generally inhaled and initially impact the respiratory tract. OSHA points out that 14 minutes per employee work day (3% real cost) in efficiency can be lost due to poor indoor air quality conditions. This can calculate into a major cost and expenditure to any type of business operation. The cost and legal issues of indoor air quality are today not tomorrow. Carbon Dioxide, Relative Humidity, Thermal Comfort and Odors Indoor air pollution can be caused by an accumulation of contaminants that occur inside the building, although some originate outside.

Indoor Air Quality Indoor Air Toxics Program Introduction The Department of Health Indoor Air Toxics Program was started in 1994. Its goal is to improve the health of Floridians by reducing exposure to indoor air contaminants. The primary function of this program is to provide support and expertise to Floridians with indoor air problems in residences, schools, health care and public facilities. Our highest priority is given to helping solving health problems when a physician suspects that indoor air quality maybe a contributing factor. The program currently consists of a statewide indoor air quality coordinator and an assistant in Tallahassee, and 58 environmental specialists working through 38 County Public Health Units to provide Indoor Air Quality expertise to the public. Currently 29 counties are without an indoor air quality resource other than that available from the statewide coordinator in Tallahassee.

Trek Tri Island American adults spend about 90% of their time indoors, and thanks to our more tightly insulated/sealed homes and workplaces, the concentration of pollutants indoors may be even higher than outdoors. Major indoor pollutants include environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke); radon; combustion products stemming from sources such as pet dander, pollen, molds, and dust mites; volatile organic compounds present in paints, cleaners, pesticides, copiers, printers, glues, and adhesives; lead dust from old, lead-based paints; and asbestos. Here are five easy steps you can take to reduce pollution at home: Vacuum and clean regularly. Wipe your feet on a doormat. Better yet, take your shoes off when you enter your home. Avoid smoke from wood stoves, fireplaces, and cigarettes. Use less toxic products for managing pest problems in your home and garden. Use fans or open windows to reduce moisture in bathrooms and kitchens and reduce build-up of indoor pollutants. Air Cleaners Learn the best and worst ways to clean your indoor air.

    Extractions: search public safety Ergonomics Indoor Air Quality Indoor Air Quality refers to the nature of air that affects the health and well-being of the individuals occupying a particular space. IAQ issues can occur in any enclosed environment, at home, at work, in a restaurant, or a crowded subway car. We are constantly interacting with the air in these spaces. How fresh and free of contaminants our space is has a direct effect on our sense of good health and well-being. The laboratory environment creates a unique set of circumstances with IAQ issues. The types of problems that can arise in a lab area as varied as the work that goes on in them. Biological studies, chemical testing, radiation, and engineering, are but a few of the processes ongoing at Tufts University facilities. Investigating indoor air quality problems often involves a little detective work. What is the nature of the complaint? Is it an odor, a physical problem, or is there a question of comfort in the lab? Many of the issues that come up, with a little knowledge, can be resolved by the occupants themselves. Below is a short list of common problems that arise in laboratories and possible solutions. Swamp Gas or Sewer Smell This is by far the most common problem in all of the university labs. Most labs have multiple sinks. If the sinks are not used frequently, the traps dry out and the odors can come up from the drains. The solution is simple: check all drains in the laboratory if you identify a sink or drain that has not been used in a while, pour water down it. Putting water down an unused sink drain on a routine basis can prevent this problem from arising. The odors coming from dry traps can be intermittent.

    http://www.labsafety.com/refinfo/ezfacts/ezf230.htm
    
    Extractions: Background Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the quality of air in non-industrial environments, such as offices. Since the energy crisis of the mid 1970s, IAQ has become an increasingly important issue for building owners, managers and occupants. The recent increase in IAQ complaints can be attributed to a decrease in building ventilation and a higher level of indoor-generated pollutants. Mechanical ventilation equipment can also contribute to indoor air contamination. In fact, it can be a source of dust, mold, bacteria and viruses. Improperly located air intake ducts will bring outside pollutants into the indoor environment. Tobacco smoke is a very controversial contaminant. OSHA's proposed IAQ standard requires that a designated area with separate ventilation be provided in workplaces where smoking is allowed.

Word on the Street GET-OUT-OF-JAIL-FREE CARD: Officials in Thurston County, Wash., last month set free 14 prisoners before their normal release dates to alleviate jail crowding following the discovery of “toxic” mold earlier this week, reported the Olympian newspaper. The mold led to the precautionary evacuation of 48 other prisoners. Those released are nonviolent offenders who are “not a threat to the community,” said Corrections Chief Karen Daniels. Six of those released were felons. Jordan Slams Builders in Mold Suit Michael Jordan is back in the news again, but this time he’s not announcing another revival of his professional basketball career. In a case that has already drawn mainstream media attention to mold, attorneys for the celebrated spokesperson and his wife, Juanita Jordan, filed a lawsuit in March against the builders of their 25,000-square-foot home in Highland Park, Ill., a suburb of Chicago. Interestingly though, more than just four subcontractors are named in the suit; the couple is also taking to court Atlanta-based Sto Corp., which manufactures exterior insulation finish systems, or synthetic stucco systems. In their complaint against the corporation, the Jordans contend Sto Corp. committed consumer fraud.
