Search: Air Quality How does the air taste, feel, smell and look in your neighborhood? Chances are that wherever you live, the air is contaminated. Smoke, haze, dust, odors and toxic compounds are present almost everywhere, especially in metropolitan cities like San Francisco. The quality of San Francisco's air depends on many factors. Many people commute to work by car, garden with leaf blowers and use an array of electrical appliances. Practically every appliance runs directly or indirectly from fossil-fuel burning generators, which are one of the greatest sources of air pollutants in the Bay Area. Power plants, oil refineries, automobiles and other fossil-fuel powered appliances produce emissions such as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide. The increasing levels of air pollution in the Bay Area negatively affect everyone, especially those with respiratory diseases and asthma and also children. Air Quality in San Francisco has greatly increased in the last fifteen years thanks to Clean Air legislation and pressures on industry by government and nonprofit agencies. However, San Francisco and the Bay Area's air quality still does not meet the federal health standards for certain pollutants like nitrogen oxides. There are numerous sources of poor air quality in San Francisco including: NITROGEN OXIDES from: power plants, industry and transportation processes

Related links Determining the quality of indoor air The quality of the air in your home can impact your health or the health of those you live with. Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can significantly affect people's health, but Environmental Protection Agency studies have shown that levels of air pollutants indoors may be anywhere from 2 to 5 times greater than outdoors, and in some cases more than 100 times greater. Indoor air pollution can be a real concern because people can spend as much as 90% of their time indoors, and much of that time is in their homes. You can have an immediate or long-term reaction to poor indoor air quality.

Indoor air quality refers to the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of air in the indoor environment within a building or an institutional area or commercial facility Regional Workshop on Household Energy, Indoor Air Pollution and Health 9 -10 May , 2002, New Delhi, India Events Bibliography Links Glossary Directory of Persons/organizations Manufacturers of monitoring equipment Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the physical, chemical, and biological characteristics of air in the indoor environment within a building or an institution or commercial facility. These characteristics can be influenced by many factors, even though these buildings or facilities do not have industrial processes and operations found in factories and plants. Factors that influence IAQ include the following. Inadequate supply of outside air. Contamination arising from sources within the building (e.g., combustion products including carbon monoxide and environmental tobacco smoke; volatile organic compounds from building materials, fabric furnishings, carpet, adhesives, fresh paint, new paneling, and cleaning products; ozone from office equipment). Contamination from outside the building (e.g., ozone, carbon monoxide, and particulate matter) through air intakes, infiltration, open doors, and windows.

Articles Volume 3 Number 6 Carpeting, Indoor Air Quality, and the Environment Feature - Environmental Building News November/December 1994 Health Concerns So What DO We Know? After receiving several hundred complaints about possible carpet-related health effects, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) commissioned a study by Hodgson and others at LBL of chemical emissions from carpets. Dozens of chemicals released from carpets were observed and 31 were positively identified. Emission levels of these chemicals were then compared to existing data about their health effects. As the measured emissions were considered peak values to which people would be exposed for only a few hours or days, they were compared only to known short-term health effects. No attempt was made to assess the possible effect of chronic or long-term exposure. As measured, none of the chemicals approached levels known to be hazardous upon short-term exposure. Of the chemicals released, most notable are styrene and 4-PC, both of which come from the SB latex backing that is used on 95% of carpets. Styrene is a known toxin and suspected carcinogen. 4-PC has not been shown to be toxic, but it has a detectable odor even at levels below one part per billion and is the chemical most responsible for the distinctive smell associated with new carpets. It is also less volatile than many of the other chemicals measured, so it continues to be emitted at measurable levels for a longer time.

Sources of Information Indoor Air Quality Unit E-mail: IAQ@state.co.us Program Description The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Air Pollution Control Division recognizes Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) as a growing public concern. Currently, there are no regulations directly addressing non-occupational indoor air quality in Colorado. Most other states and the Environmental Protection Agency also do not have regulations for non-occupational indoor air quality. The division is working to develop guidelines and would welcome input from the public. You may e-mail questions and comments to any of the links below. Three members of the division have extensive backgrounds in IAQ investigation and are available to answer questions and may be contacted by e-mail or phone. Please put IAQ in the subject line so that we may more readily identify your e-mails. You may also check with your county health departments for individuals who are knowledgeable about IAQ concerns. Indoor Air Quality Concerns Poor indoor air quality can be a serious health risk, and Americans should take the appropriate steps to protect themselves and their families, according to air quality and respiratory health experts. Most people spend as much as 90 percent of their time indoors; air quality conditions in homes, schools, and the workplace can greatly affect morale, productivity, and health.

Use Environmentally Preferable Products Enhance Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) Optimize Operational and Maintenance Practices Related Resource Pages Print Email OVERVIEW In the struggle to build cost-effective buildings , it is easy to forget that the ultimate success or failure of a project rests on its indoor environmental quality (IEQ). Healthy comfortable employees are invariably more satisfied and productive . Unfortunately, this simple, compelling truth is often lost, for it is simpler to focus on the first-cost of a project than it is to determine the value of increased user productivity and health. Federal facilities should be constructed with an appreciation of the importance of providing high-quality, interior environments for all users. During the facility design and development process, federal projects must have a comprehensive, integrated perspective that seeks to: Facilitate quality IEQ through good design, construction, and operating and maintenance practices;
