Indoor Air Quality
Is Sick Building Syndrome Fact or Fiction? We strongly believe that the correlation between poor Indoor Environmental Quality and adverse health effects can be proven with scientific research of Indoor Air Quality. We know for a fact that poor indoor air quality has contributed to discomfort and acute and chronic health problems. Symptoms range from irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, to headaches, dizziness, lethargy, and other problems. We also know for a fact that Litigation over Sick Building Syndrome cases are Escalating.
Although Comprehensive indoor environmental management considering Indoor Air Quality encompasses many areas, we realize that it must originate with the building design. This must definitely be followed up with the proper operation and maintenance of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC). This includes a program of Cleaning the "Air Handling Systems" in Total on a periodic basis from the point of air intake, fans and housing, coils, air filter banks, drip pans, plenums, ductwork supply, return and exhaust, turning vanes, diffusers, registers, grilles, exhaust fans, etc, etc.; A total systems cleaning from point of intake thought transmission, to, and including all points of utilization and discharge.
Proper steps must be taken to minimize the negative effects of Routine Activities, such as painting, carpet installation and wall papering, as well as Dust, Most Bacterial, And Other Organisms which can effect the quality of Indoor Environments.
National Air Duct Maintenance Corporation shall set-up as its primary goal a method of prudent and realistic approach to Indoor Air Quality through the cleaning and decontaminating of Air Handling Systems. We realize this is only one aspect of this environmental program, but one that we have the Expertise and Experience in taking care of in a professional manner.
WE would welcome the opportunity to have one of our engineering consultants sit down with you and go over the procedures necessary to set up an Air Handling System(s) Procedure Program applicable to your building(s). We would like to take Pictures of the interior of your duct systems in various locations throughout the building to show you the accumulation of build-up or foreign materials hidden to view of most observers but still capable of presenting health problems to the people who spend much of their time indoors.
We have a major problem that will not disappear as long as we have the need for ventilation systems, but can be controlled if the following steps are instituted. 1. Proper Design of Building - 2. Sound Operation and Maintenance of HVAC Systems - 3. Proper Evaluation of Value of the Purchase of Furniture, Equipment, Materials, Etc. to be used in the building. - 4.

Frequently Asked Questions About Indoor Air Quality
What is Indoor Air Quality?
The quality of the air inside a building may have good or bad effects on the occupants of the building. Good quality air won't have gases or particles at concentrations that cause health problems. Bad quality air will have concentrations of one or more particles that cause health problems ranging from minor temporary issues to moderate problems that cause missed work days to long lasting or even fatal effects.
How Common are Indoor Air Quality Problems?
The World Health Organization has stated that about thirty percent of all commercial buildings have significant indoor air quality problems.
What Constitutes a Significant Air Quality Problem?
You can't get away from toxins, gases or airborne particles as they are always present. It is the level of concentration that affects air quality. If one person experiences allergy, cold or flu- like symptoms, the problem is small. On the other hand, if people entering a building begin feeling sick and the symptoms go away shortly after they leave, that indicates a more serious problem.
What affects Indoor Air Quality?
Indoor Air Quality may be affected by a number of factors including: organic and inorganic particles in the air and in the air handling system. These may include dust, pollen, molds, bacteria, viruses, soot, lint and other particles. These particles may be carried throughout a facility by the air handling system.
How Serious are Indoor Air Quality Problems?
It depends. The affects of poor indoor quality air may be barely noticeable symptoms such as occasional flu-like symptoms, sinus issues, or allergy symptoms that are assumed to be normal, everyday colds, flues or allergies which cause occasional missed work days. At the extreme end of the spectrum are potential problems such as outbreaks of Legionnaire's disease, permanent respiratory system problems and workers continually getting ill or feeling sick.
