Handbook of Indoor Air Quality Management

With literally millions of chemical compounds in the environment, many hundreds known to be hazardous, and new compounds being developed everyday, keeping your workplace safe and up to standards is a continuing challenge. To meet this challenge, Donald Moffat has outlined a step-by-step IAQ Management Plan and a supporting IAQ Emergency Management Plan.

Also included in the Handbook of Indoor Air Quality Management are all the background and supporting information needed to successfully implement these plans. Appendices include case studies, a list of exposure limits, medical reference material, a glossary and addresses of applicable organizations.

With the help of this practical manual you'll be able to identify and remediate undesireable elements found in the air of practically every facility. You'll be able to profile the effects of toxic chemicals or gases your facility may be storing and their adverse affects on people. It lists the different types of filters with their advantages and disadvantages so that you can choose and install the right type filter for your plant's needs. It explains how to comply with clean air regulations in recording, monitoring, and posting air quality.

You'll find specific guidelines for compliance with ASHRAE Standard 62, OSHA recordkeeping requirements, emergency preparations and much more - including real-life case studies and ready-to-use model forms and checklists.
