Monitor your IAQ management plan to avoid unintended health consequences

Fellowes, in partnership with We Are Teachers, has released the results of their second annual national survey regarding air quality in North American K-12 education.
Recognizing the direct correlation between clean air and academic success means implementing an effective IAQ plan becomes an ethical imperative for schools.
At the present time, many people are unaware of the health significance of indoor contaminants that they cannot smell or feel through irritation of their respiratory tract.
Research suggests the concentration of toxins, allergens, and other pollutants can be up to five times higher indoors than outside, and cooking emissions are considered one of the largest sources of air pollution at home.
Rensa Filtration, a manufacturer and distributor of mission critical air filtration products, announced recently that it has acquired several businesses that provide distribution, sales and service of air filters to commercial and industrial customers.
There is also something called “Monday Syndrome,” which refers to fatigue, dizziness, chest tightness, abdominal distension, loss of appetite, body ache, inattention, and other symptoms often experienced on a Monday. Although it's often attributed to psychological factors, the reality is that poor IAQ can actually cause most of those symptoms.
