Description

The goal of this Tool Kit is to help you understand typical indoor air quality (IAQ) issues, and to suggest reasonable solutions to common problems. While many workplaces can use the Tool Kit, it is written with non-industrial settings in mind – for those working in a building with offices, meeting rooms, some kitchen or lunch room facilities, with basic cleaning activities and a limited number or type of chemicals. The guidance may also apply to home businesses or very light industrial workplaces. Building owners, or those who lease office spaces, employers and workers will benefit from the information in this guide. This guide will help you identify the problem and provide advice about common approaches to recognizing and controlling IAQ problems.
