"I've gone into houses that are so neat and clean there's not even a teacup out of place," said Jeffrey C. May, principal of J. May Home Inspections, an indoor air quality testing company in Cambridge, Mass.
The handheld indoor air quality testing detector Telaire 7001 CO2 Monitor (USA), which can be able to display CO2 readings in less than 30 s, was used to measure CO2 concentration in this study.
(Reuters Health) - Newly renovated low-income housing units in Boston earned awards for green design and building but flunked indoor air-quality tests, a new study shows.
The CO2 concentration change in different dormitories was also discussed to evaluate the current ventilation and indoor air quality situation in the tested university student dormitories.
Brosch tries to address indoor air quality by, for example, testing furnaces and other appliances that can create combustion by-products.
She also urged the city to expand testing of indoor air quality in Lower Manhattan.
Under Monday's agreement, federal officials will conduct additional testing of indoor air quality in Lower Manhattan, and government and private experts will review the aftermath of the attacks.
The Occupational Health Group provides various industrial hygiene services to the University community, including chemical and biological exposure assessments, indoor air quality investigations, respirator evaluations and fit tests, noise surveys, and administration of the Lead and Asbestos programs.
Bart Gallagher, a principal with Ronkonkoma-based Enviroscience Consultants Inc., which tests buildings for indoor air quality, said they checked the numbers and types of organisms found, some of which produce toxins.
We enrolled more than 100 knowledge workers in 10 buildings across the United States, six of which had achieved "green certification". (Although "green" implies lower energy use and perhaps lower ventilation rates, many buildings do both quite well). We measured the indoor air quality in each of these buildings and tested workers' cognitive function.
Building environment quality was judged by fieldwork physical environment tests, including indoor thermal, lighting, indoor air quality and acoustics data in the operating phase.
