Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a current buzzword in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) Industry. We hear about Legionnaire's disease outbreaks traced to the air conditioning system. Buildings are highlighted on the news as making their tenants sick and it's referred to as sick building syndrome. Individual homes are linked to increases in allergies and asthma. Can it happen to your home and what can you do to prevent it or correct it if you are already the proud owner of a house that is making you sick? Filtering The Dust Killing the Mildew Molds Fungus ... Bacteria , and Viruses and Ventilating the Volatile Gases in an attempt to breathe easier. Filtering the Air We Breathe The most important step in filter improvement is to make sure that all the air that goes through the electric air handler or gas furnace is filtered. If your HVAC system is pulling air through cracks in the duct system or return air chase, it pulls the contaminates along with it. Have your service technician check to verify that all the return air to a system is pulled through the filter system. This is a good time for your service technician to verify that the filter system is sized large enough for proper operation of the system.

Why does Indoor Air Quality matter? The air quality of our indoor environments effects our health and often contributes to structural degradation and building failures within our homes. Consider the facts: 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. The prevalence rate of pediatric asthma has increased from 40.1 to 69.1, a 72.3 percent increase. Asthma is the sixth ranking chronic condition in our nation and the leading serious chronic illness of children in the U.S. In the house, poor indoor air quality can result in structural rot within the walls and attic and around window framing from excess moisture.

It's a place to raise a family, entertain friends, live, and more often these days, work. Americans spend an average of 65 percent of their time at home, in what is usually viewed as a safe haven. However, growing evidence suggests that some homes may be detrimental to the health of their occupants, especially those with compromised lung function due to age, asthma, chemical sensitivities or other respiratory conditions. Home pollutants such as dust mites, animal related allergens (dander and saliva) and mold are known asthma triggers, while high accumulations of carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and radon in inadequately ventilated homes are serious health hazards. The media regularly report on families experiencing deteriorating health due to the presence of mold in their sealed-tight houses.

Return to Federal Citizen Information Center Home Page Printer-friendly page I f you're like most Americans, you spend much of your tim eindoors. Have you ever stopped to think about whether the air you're breathing at hiome is healthy? When you're at home do you frequently have headaches or feel nauseous or tired? Do you feel better when you leave the house? If you have these symptoms, or others listed in this booklet, your home's air quality may be the problem. Recent research has found that in homes across America, the quality of indoor air can be worse than outdoor air. That's because many homes are being built and remodeled tighter - some with improved ventilation system to provide fresh air exchange. We are using more products and furnishings containing compounds sensitive to some occupants. You don't have to be a building scientist to deal with the quality of air in your home. However, you should understand a few basics. to get you started. The "Healthy Indoor Air for America's Homes" project was developed to provide basic but comprehensive information to consumers to get a handle on indoor air quality. A major hazard is MISINFORMATION.

Protecting Indoor Environments From CBR Attack Given the international situation in the Middle East and North Korea, concerns about the threat of terrorist attacks using airborne chemical, biological or radiological (CBR) weapons have increased. While no building or home can be fully protected from airborne chemical, biological or radiological (CBR) weapons, there are steps building owners and managers can take to protect the indoor environment, provide places of refuge for building occupants and make their buildings less attractive targets. There are also steps homeowners can take to protect their homes and families. Healthy Homes Initiative from HUD The US Department of Housing and Urban Development has awarded $67 million to help protect children from lead and other dangerous indoor air pollutants. Setting Guidelines for Mold Exposure Legislation has recently passed that will require that certain limits be placed on mold exposure. There are many reasons guidelines for mold exposure do not currently existhere is a brief explanation of why. Asthma and Indoor Air Quality Asthma is the most common lung disease associated with indoor pollutants. Asthma attacks can be triggered or exacerbated by a number of environmental pollutants, including environmental fungi and molds, dust mites, cat allergens, cockroaches, cold air, tobacco smoke, chemicals, odors, and even exercise.

Building Environment Division Indoor Air Quality and Ventilation The Group develops computer simulation programs and measurement procedures and applies them to better understand the phenomena of air and contaminant transport in buildings and to support industry efforts to improve environmental conditions in buildings in a cost-effective manner. The results of this research are providing reliable methods and to evaluate ventilation characteristics and indoor pollutant concentrations in buildings. The modeling efforts include the development and application of multizone airflow and indoor air quality models, specifically the CONTAM series which predicts airflows and contaminant concentrations in multizone building systems. CONTAM is based on a graphic interface that allows the user to draw floor plans on a "sketchpad" and employ "icons" to represent airflow paths, ventilation system components, and contaminant sources. CONTAM has been used at NIST to study the indoor air quality impacts of HVAC systems in single-family residential buildings, ventilation in large mechanically-ventilated office buildings, and radon entry and transport in large residential, office, and school buildings. Measurement procedures are being developed and demonstrated to evaluate building ventilation and indoor pollutant concentrations. These procedures range from sophisticated tracer gas methods used predominantly in building research efforts to less involved procedures that can be employed by building operators. NIST researchers are continually developing new test procedures, and then demonstrating them in the field to evaluate their feasibility and reliability. The efforts in which these procedures are demonstrated in the field has resulted in the development of an important database of building ventilation and indoor air quality performance.
