We spend about 90% of our time indoors, making it very important to ensure good indoor air quality.
Poor indoor air quality has been linked to decreased performance and an increase in missed work days. Poor indoor air quality can result in short-term symptoms such as eye, nose and throat irritation, headache, nausea, lethargy and long-term conditions such as asthma, allergies and even cancer.
This self-guided walkthrough will help promote good indoor air quality and an asthma friendly environment at your worksite. This tool will help identify, remove and reduce indoor air quality problems and asthma triggers to help employees keep asthma under control, reduce missed workdays, and keep all employees healthy and productive.
