Energy-Efficient Homes and Indoor Air Quality This brochure explains what indoor air pollution is, describes the major pollutants and their potential health effects, and tells you what you can do to reduce your exposure to them. By familiarizing yourself with this information you can make better choices to improve the air quality of your home. Overview Today more and more people are choosing to live in energy-efficient homes. The Bonneville Power Administration is interested in these home because as well as providing a good value to the consumer, they also offer the region an important and practical opportunity to save energy. Energy-efficient homes have features designed to keep the cold out and hold the heat in. This saves energy and money. However, these same features may also increase the potential for greater concentrations of indoor air pollutants. What is Indoor Air Pollution? Indoor pollutants exist in all homes. Energy-efficient measures do not cause indoor air pollution, but they may aggravate existing or potential air quality problems. Some of the major indoor air pollutants are gases and particles generated when people use wood burning stoves and gas ranges, or when they smoke. Other pollutants such as formaldehyde and organic chemicals are emitted by certain building materials, home furnishing, cleaning products and pesticides.

Air pollution can be a problem where you least expect it, in the places you may have thought the safest - your home, school or workplace. Studies have shown that the air in our homes and buildings can be even more polluted than the outdoor air.

This section of particular interest to the hospitality industry and the work sector in general contains information about indoor air quality and ventilation. Here, we publish evidence that demonstrates the scientific fraud about second hand smoke. Environmental Tobacco Smoke in the Nonsmoking Section of a Restaurant: A Case Study - This study, sponsored by the Hotel Association of Canada, clearly demonstrates (with sophisticated electronic equipment) that, with some ventilation, the air quality of a smoking area is equal (if not better ) than the quality of the air where smoking is forbidden altogether. This is not good news for those who hold the absurd position that passive smoke cannot be eliminated; position held to hide that what they seek is not "protection" of non smokers from non-existing dangers to health , but prohibition for social control. Each time direct electronic measurement is used, it turns out that the amounts of toxic substances in passive smoke are small enough to make every honest observer smile at the claims of the antismoking stooges. We’ll light one up to that.

ADDRESSING THE PSYCHOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF INDOOR AIR QUALITY Professor Alan Hedge Cornell Univ., Ithaca, NY 14853, U.S.A. Paper presented at the 1st Asian Indoor Air Quality Seminar sponsored by BAT, Urumqi, China, Sept. 22-23, 1996. "The human being is the ultimate judge of indoor air quality, and the traditional hygienic/chemical method at this stage can be regarded as insufficient to define the quality of air as perceived by human beings." (Iwashita, 1992, p.23) INDOOR AIR QUALITY ISSUES Good building ventilation creates comfortable and healthy indoor conditions. For thermal comfort ventilation, indoor spaces must receive a sufficient quantity of outdoor air that is warmed or cooled to satisfy human thermal comfort needs. Comfort ventilation is assessed by measuring occupant perceptions of indoor air quality, including their assessments of odors, thermal conditions, and the adequacy of ventilation. For health ventilation, indoor spaces must receive air that is free from hazardous chemical or microbiological contaminants. Here, indoor spaces must receive a sufficient quantity of outdoor air that has been filtered and cleaned to create acceptable indoor air quality conditions. Health ventilation is measured by comparing levels of indoor air pollutants against occupational health standards, which usually are expressed as threshold limit values (TLVs) or permissible exposure levels (PELs) for air pollutants. Complaints of poor IAQ and reports of SBS usually are more perplexing to diagnose because results of IAQ studies of buildings often fail to find highly contaminated air, and in these cases simply increasing the ventilation rate may not resolve IAQ complaints. The reasons for this lie in the research findings that show that IAQ complaints and SBS are influenced by various non-environmental variables, such as personal, occupational, and psychological factors, which are thought to affect individual sensitivities and susceptibilities to IAQ problems (Hedge, Erickson, and Rubin, 1992, 1995, 1996). Understanding the role which these various non-environmental variables can play invariably helps to resolve IAQ problems.

Growing public awareness of "Sick Building Syndrome", the rising number of people experiencing allergies and breathing problems due to poor indoor air quality, and the everincreasing amount of airborne chemicals and particulates have led ionair® to this innovative air cleaning technology. Implementing an ionair® system reduces the need to bring in as much dilution air by using more recirculated air. A proper combination of cleaned recirculated air and outside air reduces cooling/heating, and maintenance costs. LK Luftqualitaet AG

Epidemiology is part of Public Health in North Carolina Topics A-Z Biological Agents Registry Communicable Disease Control ... CDC Health Topics Indoor Air Quality Indoor Air Quality in Home Environments Sources of Indoor Air Pollutants Indoor air pollutants have increased over the part few decades for variety of reasons. Contributing to indoor air quality issues in homes are construction of more tightly sealed buildings, reduced ventilation rates to save energy, the use of synthetic building materials and furnishings, and increased use of chemical products such as pesticides, housekeeping supplies, and personal care products. The four basic factors affecting indoor air quality (IAQ) are indoor air pollutant sources; the heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system; pollutant pathways; and occupants. Typical sources of indoor air pollutants and conditions that can have an impact on IAQ in homes: Moisture and Biologicals Combustion Products, including Carbon Monoxide Environmental Tobacco Smoke Formaldehyde ... A note about Asthma See also: US EPA: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) in Homes/Residences Moisture and Biologicals: Moisture problems in homes can result in the growth or amplification of biological and microbial organisms like mold, mildew, dust mites and pet dander. Exposure to these organisms can increase the risk of allergic illness, trigger asthma, cause respiratory infections, or have other health effects. Common sources of moisture include high indoor humidity, plumbing leaks, and water leaks. Poorly maintained heating, ventilation and air-conditioning systems can also contribute to moisture problems. To remedy the problem, the source of excess moisture must be found and fixed, and contaminated materials must be removed and discarded if they can not be thoroughly cleaned.

There are more than 100,000 species of mold. At least 1,000 species of mold are common in the U.S. Some of the most commonly found are species of Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus. Mold is most likely to grow where there is water or dampness, as in bathrooms and basements. How can mold affect your health?

var top_val = 0; Enter Keyword(s): Search Help Indoor Air Quality Indoor Air Quality The need for clean air in our homes should not be underestimated. Canadians spend an average of 90% of their time inside, and our homes contain many substances that may be hazardous to our health. Indoor air pollutants range from minor irritants such as dust and animal dander, to major irritants such as molds and chemical vapours that may be emitted from building materials and furnishings. One in five Canadians suffer from some type of lung disease (asthma, emphysema, lung cancer) and many more Canadians are affected by allergies. The air we breathe is a factor in all these conditions, therefore, it is vital that we implement the necessary steps to ensure the highest level of indoor air quality. Some practical tips to improve indoor air quality include: Stop smoking Ensure regular maintenance of the furnace Reduce moisture and mold in the home by repairing roof and foundation cracks Grade soil to allow water to flow away from the house Dehumidify the basement Reduce the amount of stored materials in the house Choose building and renovating materials with low levels of chemical emissions Avoid the use of pesticides It is important to be aware of how air contaminants can affect our health and to adopt corrective measures that will improve indoor air quality in our homes.
