The term, “Indoor Air Quality” (IAQ), is a commonly used everyday phrase that is generally well understood by nearly everyone. But do you know how and why the phrase became a popular term in our everyday lexicon? It stems from a bout of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS), a dirty little secret which, during the 1980’s and 90’s was estimated to affect approximately 30 percent of all public buildings worldwide. Review our Sick Building Syndrome Q & A, and contact Performance Industrial for more information on how to keep your staff and employees safe and healthy:
A. SBS is a condition occurring in an office, factory or other commercial building, which creates unhealthy indoor air quality. Some people who work daily in an affected building may report symptoms such as nausea, dizziness, burning, irritated eyes, or upper respiratory problems. The symptoms typically disappear when a person is away from the building and they return when the person re-enters the building.
A. SBS can be caused by a number of factors including, but not limited to the following:
A. The consequences of SBS are as numerous as the types of businesses they it may affect. If, for example, you operate a motel or hotel with biological contaminants in the ductwork, you run the risks of sickening your guests, as well as your employees. (Remember Legionnaire’s Disease?) Absenteeism and loss of key employees is another potentially huge and costly consequence of SBS. Loss of productivity, lowered office morale, and loss of efficiencies reduce your bottom line and, possibly even your company’s reputation.
A. Here are some simple and potentially cost-savings steps you can take to ensure that your building will not have to hide its “dirty little secret.”
