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: Protection Device? Indoor Air Quality I ndoor Air Quality has become a very important issue in our lives. During the energy crunch of the 70s we made vacuum bottles out of our homes and offices to save energy. The most common health effects from poor Indoor Air Quality are upper respiratory irritation (eyes, nose, sinuses, throat), headaches, fatigue, and allergic reactions. Good Indoor Air Quality is the quality of air which has no unwanted gases or particles in it at concentrations which will adversely affect someone. Poor Indoor Air Quality occurs when gases or particles are present at an excessive concentration so as to affect the satisfaction or health of occupants. In the minor instances, poor Indoor Air Quality may only be annoying to one person. At the extreme, it could be fatal to all of the occupants of a structure.

According to the American Lung Association of Minnesota, elements within our home and workplaces have been increasingly recognized as threats to our respiratory health. The most common pollutants are radon, combustion products, biologicals (molds, pet dander, pollen), volatile organic compounds, lead dust and asbestos. The Environmental Protection Agency lists poor indoor air quality as the fourth largest environmental threat to our country. Asthma is a serious chronic respiratory disease that affects people of all ages. The number of people in Minnesota and nationwide with asthma has risen during the past two decades. In the house, poor indoor air quality can result in structural rot within the walls and attic and around window framing from excess moisture.

Extractions: Indoor Air Quality Welcome Do you frequently feel congested, sneeze a lot, clear your throat often, have watery eyes, get headaches, and feel tired? Do you feel worse when you are at home? If you answered yes to any of these questions, the air quality in your home may be a problem! Indeed scientific studies have shown that indoor air quality can be worse than outdoor air quality. This web site was created as a free online resource to educate and increase public awareness of poor indoor air quality by outlining significant causes and health effects. Indoor Air Quality Factors The quality of indoor air depends on many factors, including structure, building material, outdoor environment and occupants. The level of contaminants depends on the net influences of factors, which emit, and remove contaminants. The solution usually requires improvement with both factors; Reduce emission and enhance removal. Indoor contaminants that have been shown to have health consequences come from indoor and outdoor sources as well as from occupant related activities. The main contaminants include bioaerosols which include pathogens and allergens, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde, cleaning products, pesticides, particulates such as lead or asbestos, combustions products such as carbon monoxide, environmental tobacco smoke (ETS), and radioactive material such as radon. The health consequences range from acute effects such as allergic reaction to chronic effects such as lung cancer.

Lab Safety Supply - EZ Facts Safety Info - Document #230, Indoor Air Quality
indoor air quality. Document Number 230 Background. Results of Poor indoor air quality. Two types of illness can result from contaminated indoor air.
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.

Tobacco Industry Influence On Indoor Air Quality Standard Setting
Paper discusses how and why the tobacco industry influences the setting of standards for indoor air quality.
http://apha.confex.com/apha/130am/techprogram/paper_45347.htm

Extractions: 4003.0: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 - Board 1 Tobacco industry influence on indoor air quality standard setting Stella Aguinaga Bialous, RN, DrPH , Cardiovascular Research Institute, UCSF, 676 Funston Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94118, 415-876-2990, stella@bialous.com and Stanton A Glantz, PhD, Institute for Health Policy Studies, University of California, San Francisco, 3333 California Street, Suite 265, San Francisco, CA 94118. This paper describes how in the past 20 years the tobacco industry influenced the standard setting process of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) while health advocates largely ignored the issue. ASHRAE is responsible for developing ventilation standards for indoor air quality (Standard 62), a key issue when discussing smoke free ordinances and the inadequacy of any existing ventilation technology to address the health effects of passive smoking. Despite this fact, the tobacco industry continues to promote and misrepresent its ventilation solution and has worked openly and covertly within ASHRAE to ensure that the standard didnt state that smoking was incompatible with good indoor air quality. Data was gathered through interviews, review of publicly available records, and review of tobacco industry documents available on the Internet. Standard 62-1981 would have made the cost of ventilation when smoking allowed prohibitive and was rightly perceived by the industry as an incentive for smoke free indoors. The industry blocked its approval and worked towards developing standard 62-1989, which allowed for moderate amounts of smoking and ignored health effects of passive smoking. In 1997 the industry blocked the revision of the 1989 standard, which again excluded smoking. Currently, Standard 62-1999 assumes no smoking indoors and doesnt set ventilation parameters for allowing smoking. The industry is fighting to change this standard.
