Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

A key industrial hygiene concern is excessive employee exposure to chemical stresses (toxic gases, dusts, fumes, mists and vapors) arising in the workplace. Acute health effects resulting from excessive exposure include burning eyes, shortness of breath, headache, nausea, sneezing and coughing. 

BDN's industrial hygienists are trained in conducting indoor air quality investigations to determine the cause of IAQ complaints.  We can also design and implement a proactive IAQ program customized to meet your needs.

Our IAQ services include:

• IAQ complaint investigations
• Proactive IAQ programs
• Written IAQ compliance programs
• IAQ monitoring
• Visual examinations of HVAC systems
• Air monitoring for the determination of Bioaerosols (Bacteria, Fungi/Mold, Allergens)

Addressing indoor air quality concerns opens the door for improved communication and trust between employers and employees. BDN can monitor and document concentrations of airborne contaminants, provide recommendations for response actions when necessary and give presentations of investigation findings to management and employees. Whatever stage your indoor air quality program is in, BDN can assist you with bringing it into compliance with applicable IAQ regulations.
