INDOOR AIR QUALITY (IAQ):
The nature of air that affects the health and
well-being of occupants.
INDOOR AIR POLLUTION (IAP):
The plethora of pollutants that exist in indoor
environments.
The pervasiveness of indoor air pollution and human
exposure to indoor pollutants and contaminated air is a major public health
issue. Since 1970, information on the health risk associated with indoor air pollutants (IAP), has increased steadily.
Because the general population is indoors most of the
time and because of the pervasive nature indoor air pollution, IAP, no one
is immune to the effects of indoor air pollution, IAP.
Reported health risks associated with IAP include eye,
nose, and throat irritations, central nervous system
disorders (CND), allergic sensitivity reactions, and a variety of other
respiratory and health problems as further described on the Health
Risks page. |
Poor Indoor air quality (IAQ)
Poor indoor air quality can be traced to many factors. Among some of the causes of contaminated indoor air quality,
the National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, (NIOSH),
have noted are: microbial contamination, contamination
from inside the building, contamination from outside the
building, inadequate ventilation, and fabric
contamination. TERS has the expertise to deal with the
complete range of causes for contaminated air and poor indoor air quality. TERS provides contaminated indoor air quality testing services in New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ), and Connecticut (CT).
Healthy Indoor Environment
The quality of air contributes to productivity, comfort,
and a sense of health and well being in a healthy indoor
environment. The indoor air should be free from
significant levels of odors, dust and contaminants and
circulates to prevent stuffiness without creating
drafts. Occupants should be free from feeling sick. See Health risk page. Temperature and humidity should also be
appropriate to the season and to the clothing and
activity of the building occupants.
TERS lets you breathe easy with our unique capabilities
to :
n Testing your Indoor Air Quality ( IAQ )
n Identifying Indoor Air Pollution ( IAP ) and other environmental risk factors.
n Recommending cost and time efficient solutions from the
very basic to
engineering intervention
§ Execution of our plans to eliminate existing and future
problems, and eliminate health risks.
