A few things to watch out for when dealing with indoor air quality.

Productivity and Less Sick Days

One of the most common problems associated with poor indoor air quality in the office is an increase in absenteeism, sick days, and a decrease in productivity. While some workplaces may have obvious problems with odors, dust, or chemical pollutants, poor indoor air quality in the office is often invisible, with nothing to suggest anything is wrong. Reducing or eliminating these contaminants can result in a marked increase in employee satisfaction and comfort, which in turn has a huge effect on their ability to work effectively. Stress can have a huge effect on both physical and mental health, and aggravating environmental triggers can exacerbate stress and lead to more frequent illness and sick days. Improving your indoor air quality in the office will help everyone to feel better and work better.

Types of Indoor Air Contaminants in The Workplace

Air quality in the office can be affected by any number of pollutants or problems caused by the building, or the products and things that we bring into the buildings. Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) are gaining a lot of press recently for being the cause of, or exacerbating, poor air quality in offices across Canada. SBS is increasing as our homes and buildings become more air tight, which prevents contaminants from being flushed effectively, and can lead to problems with humidity, ventilation, and mold growth. MCS is caused by an increased sensitivity to chemicals found in our indoor environments, which in the office can be anything from your neighbour's perfume to floor polishes, cleaning products, and photocopier toners.

Poor indoor humidity and temperature control, an under maintained HVAC system, workplace overcrowding, windows that don't open, and excessive noise and lighting can all contribute to poor indoor air quality in the office.  These problems can then cause biological hazards like toxic mold growth in the walls, ceiling, or HVAC. Dust mites can proliferate in carpets and office furniture, and life threatening bacterial diseases, such as Legionnaire's, can proliferate when maintenance standards aren't met. Materials used in construction, like asbestos, carpeting, pest control sprays, solvents, and paints can also have a big effect on the quality of your office life. Testing the indoor air quality at work can help you feel better, work better, and to create a better office environment for everyone.
