Self-assessment and resolution of indoor air quality problems.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) problems have their origins in many different generating sources within facilities. General categories of these sources include building systems, processes and procedures, management, employees, and outside influences. Knowing how to identify the source(s) is the only way to resolve IAQ issues. This paper discusses methods that can be used by facilities managers and safety managers in hospitals to conduct a self-assessment to address IAQ complaints so that the problems can be quickly and adequately resolved.
