Summary
Studies have shown that there is a direct relationship between indoor air quality and the health and productivity of building occupants. Historically, the focus of indoor air quality has addressed emission sources emanating from within the building, for example, techniques to limit or eliminate off-gassing of finish materials such as adhesives, carpet and furniture. Additionally, for laboratories, the “as-manufactured” and “as-installed” containment recommendations for fume hoods are intended to ensure that the worker is not exposed to toxic chemicals. However, a critical aspect of indoor air quality is external emission sources that may be re-ingested into the building through closed-circuiting between nearby exhaust stacks and a building’s air intakes.
