Indoor Air Quality Management Plan

Scope

​

Most organizations are aware that outdoor air pollution can affect employee health, but many do not know that indoor air pollution can also have a significant effect. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies have indicated that indoor concentrations of air pollutants can be significantly greater than concentrations observed outdoors. Indoor air pollutant concentrations are of particular concern because it is estimated that most people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Comparative risk studies performed by the EPA and the Science Advisory Board have consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental health risks.

​

Over the past several decades, exposure to indoor air pollutants has increased due to a variety of factors. Including but not limited to: the construction of more tightly-sealed buildings, reduced ventilation rates to save energy, the use of synthetic building materials and furnishings, and the use of chemically-formulated personal care products, pesticides and housekeeping supplies.

​

The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Management Plan is designed to protect the health and safety of building occupants and decrease exposure to indoor air contaminants.  To provide all building occupants with an environment that maintains acceptable indoor air quality.
