Indoor air quality is a major concern to businesses, building managers, tenants, and employees because it can impact the health, comfort, well being, and productivity of building occupants. Most Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors and many spend most of their working hours in an office environment. Studies conducted by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and others show that indoor environments sometimes can have levels of pollutants that are actually higher than levels found outside. Pollutants in our indoor environment can increase the risk of illness. Studies show that improving indoor air quality can actually result in higher productivity and fewer lost work days.

Both particles and gases entering the airstream adversely affect indoor air quality. Particles are solid substances which are light enough to be suspended in the air, the largest of which may be visible to the naked eye when sun beams stream into a room. However, smaller particles that you cannot see are likely to be more harmful to health. Particles of dust, dirt, or other substances may be drawn into the building from outside and can also be produced by activities that occur in buildings such as printing, copying, operating equipment, dusting, etc. Gaseous contaminants--not particulates—can often be smelled and come from sources such as tobacco smoke, cleaning solutions, automotive/truck exhaust fumes, industrial gases, paint fumes and other sources. Filtration of both particles and gases is mandatory for good indoor air quality.

Additional Information

Efficient filtration of the air is an important aspect of the manufacturing process; from the paint finish of automobiles to food and beveragemanufacturing clean air is essential.In addition, keeping energy costs down are of utmost importance in today’s manufacturing process. Many air filtration products cause significant resistance to air flow due to the density and composition of the media and the design of the product. Even though products may appear to be similar, the energy losses they create over an operating cycle vary. Filters offered by AFC provide high-efficiency filtration at low resistance, which equates to energy savings.

Modern hygienic concerns have given air filters a new and expanded role in hospital applications. The purpose of today's hospital air filtration is to provide patients, staff, and visitors with a high degree of protection form airborne micro-organisms, toxic and non-toxic fumes and odors. It should be noted that filtration alone cannot provide a guarantee that infectious, allergenic or irritating particulate matter will be controlled in a hospital. However, in this age of escalating health care costs and tightening budgets, the use and maintenance of high quality filters should be actively pursued because of their potential to provide significant, long-term cost reductions and improved health care.

Smoking or being exposed to cigarette and cigar smoke has long been a part of the casino experience. In many instances, smoking is considered important to the continued financial success of a casino. But managing smoke isn’t the only indoor air quality issue for casinos. There are many other potential air quality issues in such an environment that have nothing to do with smoke. These range from dirty money, mold and dust, to mycotoxins, pollen, odors, and more. Indoor air quality has declined so significantly that the EPA’s Science Advisory Board has ranked indoor air pollution as one of the top five risks to public health in the United States. Hotels and casinos must focus on IAQ to provide a healthier, more desirable environment for their customers.
