Indoor
Air Quality
Air quality is one of the most important characteristics of an indoor
environment. In terms of human health, indoor sources can generate astonishing
levels of pollutants under otherwise acceptable circumstances, causing
illnesses and sick-building problems. Even building structures considered
stable could contain literally thousands of compounds emanating from
consumer products and everyday materials.
GEOMET and our parent company Versar have been at the forefront of the
search for understanding and improving the indoor environment and risk
management since the mid-l970s. Our extensive background results in
insightful and cost-effective indoor air quality (IAQ) services tailored
to each client's specific needs.
We use combinations of various techniques, including industrial hygiene,
exposure assessment, toxicology, modeling, and environmental engineering,
to perform logical assessments of IAQ problems based on our understanding
of:
1. Indoor air contaminants and the factors that affect their occurrence
and concentrations;
2. Building ventilation systems;
3. Building design;
4. Physical factors;
5. Comfort parameters; and
6. Occupant perceptions of air quality and comfort.
