A i r F i l t e r Te c h n o l o g yAirborne Contaminants and Indoor Air QualityIAQConcern over the quality of air inside of buildings is nowreceiving the attention that the quality of outside air received inthe 1970’s. Acceptable indoor air quality (IAQ) is defined in theAmerican Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and AirConditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 62.1: Ventilationfor Acceptable Indoor Air Quality as: "Air in which there are noknown contaminants at harmful concentrations and with whicha substantial majority of the people exposed do not expressdissatisfaction." It is clear, in many areas of the country, and inmany buildings, we have a problem under this definition.Estimated potential productivity gains from Improved Indoor Environments (1996 US Dollars).Source of productivity gainPotential annual health benefitsReduced respiratory illness16–37 million avoided cases of common cold or influenzaReduced allergies and asthma10–30% decrease in symptoms in 53 million allergy sufferers and 16 millionasthmaticsReduced sick building syndrome (SBS) symptoms20–50% reduction in SBS health symptoms experienced frequently at work by 2.15million workersPoor IAQ has been shown to result in increased incidence ofillness and absenteeism, reduced productivity, irritability,complaints about building odor and stuffiness, and healthproblems. These may include allergies, coughing, diarrhea, eye,nose, and throat irritation, fatigue, general respiratoryproblems, headaches, nausea, dizziness, runny nose, and skinirritation. Some contaminants enter a building from theoutside, while others are generated internally. Often, theseproblems appear one to two hours after the occupants arrive atthe building and disappear one or two hours after they leave thebuilding. A slight cold can persist for weeks or even months.The culprit is often the continuous exposure to excessive levelsof contaminants.Atmospheric air has hundreds of thousands of particles per cubic foot. In many areas,it does not make sense to introduce contaminant laden air into a building. It makessense to re-circulate clean, filtered air.Some common atmospheric contaminants relative to a human hair.Studies have shown that we should be concerned aboutrespirable size particles, those that can penetrate deep into thelungs and do damage. ASHRAE addresses this in their Standard62.1, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) provides actual air quality data on a daily basis in manylocations throughout the United States because of immediatehealth concerns when levels are elevated. These lung-damagingparticles are 0.2 to 5.0 micrometers in size. Larger particlesare filtered by the body’s natural protection system in the nose,the throat and trachea before they can penetrate deeper intothe lungs.Smaller particles, less than 1-micron in size, because of theirphysical properties can penetrate deep into the lungs and reachbronchioles, bronchi, and the critical alveoli. Most maladies,including infections, occur in the lungs. Ninety-nine percent ofall airborne particles are under 1-micron in size with the typicalair sample having hundreds of thousands of these potentiallydamaging particles in each cubic foot of air. This critical submicron particle range should be the focus of our particulatecontamination concerns.Conover NC, Corcoran CA, Crystal Lake IL, Riverdale NJ,Washington NC, Concord OntarioUnited States Tel: (866) 422-6345, Canada Tel: (800) 976-9382www.camfil.com4As par t of our program for continuous improvement, Camfil reserves the right to change specifications without notice.Fisk WJ.

Immune-building technology and bioterrorism defense. HPAC Engineering, Jan 2003.People spend more than 90 percent of their time indoors - athome or work, in shopping centers, or vehicles. This leads toexposure to harmful air contaminants, thus having atremendous impact on our health, and productivity.As part of our program for continuous improvement, Camfil reserves the right to change specifications without notice.During the last 20 years, researchers have explored therelationship between IAQ, health and productivity. Please reviewthe following examples:1.2.3.4.In a survey of 100 U.S. office buildings, 23 percent of office workers experienced frequent symptoms of Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) such as respiratory ailments, allergies, and asthma. The impact has usually beenhidden in sick days, lower productivity, and medical costs. The economicimpact is enormous, with an estimated decrease in productivity around 2percent nationwide, resulting in an annual cost to the United States ofapproximately 60 billion.William Fisk, from Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California,was one of the early researchers to examine IAQ effects on health andproductivity. In a recent article, he established a baseline for quantifyingbenefits from improved IAQ and demonstrated the economic impacts ofincreased productivity. Findings are showing that improvement in IAQcan:- Reduce SBS symptoms by 20 to 50 percent, with estimated savings of 10 to 100 billion- Reduce asthma by 8 to 25 percent, with estimated savings of 1 to 4billion- Reduce other respiratory illnesses by 23 to 76 percent, with estimatedsavings of 6 to 14 billion- Improve office worker productivity by 0.5 to 5 percent, with estimatedsavings of 20 to 200 billionA recent study by Bjarne Olsen, chairperson for the International Centerfor Indoor Environment and Energy (ICIEE) in Denmark, indicated thatimproved thermal comfort, reduction in indoor pollutants, enhanced ventilation rates, and ventilation effectiveness can increase productivity by 5 to10 percent. Conversely, the research also indicates that a 10 percentdecrease in tenant satisfaction with IAQ results in a 1 percent drop in productivity.Pawel Wargocki, also from the ICIEE, conducted three separate studiesshowing an increase of productivity at 5 percent or more through IAQimprovements.Clearly, productivity gains cannot be projected the way thatenergy savings can be, but research strongly suggests that theinvestment in a high-performance IAQ building pays off inoccupant productivity.What Causes Poor IAQ?Poor IAQ is caused by airborne particulates and gases orvapors that adversely affect occupant health and comfort, thebuilding structure, or its furnishings. Some IAQ problems,called "sick building syndrome," are new and are the result ofchanges in HVAC system design and operating practices; othershave existed for years, but building occupants are only nowcomplaining about them. Air quality problems in buildings areusually related to the following pollutants: Particulates including airborne dirt, dust, lead, or asbestos Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including chemicals, suchas formaldehyde or other gases from building materials,carpets, furniture, or ozone from copiers and other officeequipment Biological contaminants including bacteria, mold, and mildewthat come from contaminated air handling systems, books,carpets, etc., usually related to unacceptably high levels ofmoisture or humidity Bioeffluents, or other contaminants, both gaseous andparticulate, generated by the building occupantsMicroorganisms are a leading source of contamination. Theseinclude bacteria, fungi, yeast, and algae. They are foundeverywhere and can cause human and building maintenanceproblems. Microorganisms are present on all environmentalsurfaces (including humans), in the air, and in water associatedwith normal building operation. Like humans, microorganismsneed two things to live -- moisture and nutrients. Givenacceptable growth conditions, microorganisms can multiplyfrom one or two organisms to more than 1 billion organisms injust 18 hours. In most cases, problems relating tomicroorganisms can be addressed by proper control ofmoisture and humidity. Removing one or the other will usuallyeliminate these nuisances.
