IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) Standards

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) standards set guidelines to ensure the air inside buildings is safe and healthy to breathe. These standards specify acceptable levels of pollutants like dust, chemicals, allergens, and moisture that can affect comfort and health. Regulatory agencies, such as the EPA in the U.S., develop these limits based on scientific research to prevent health issues like allergies, asthma, or respiratory illnesses. Maintaining proper IAQ involves managing ventilation, controlling pollutant sources, and monitoring air conditions. Overall, IAQ standards help create indoor environments that support well-being, productivity, and comfort for occupants.
