title: Role of occupational health services in the assessment and management of indoor air quality problems.
abstract: The role of the occupational health services in the assessment and management of indoor air quality (IAQ) problems in non-industrial sectors (offices, banks, etc.) has been discussed by experts of the ICOH Scientific Committee on IAQ and Health and has been proposed as follow: 1. Collaboration in risk assessment--risk management; 2. Questionnaire survey; 3. Health surveillance (only when periodical health surveillance is already performed for other risks or when specific clinical examination of workers is required); 4. Health promotion (programs for a better IAQ management). A team approach with cooperation between medical and technical experts is recommended in the assessment and management of indoor air quality problems.
