Most think of chemical spills & other major events as IAQ. Unfortunately, this is not the case. By sealing our buildings we have created an IAQ problem with ALL facilities: both commercial; & residential. One of the main sources of contamination is us (Humans), then everything else that is in the building is outgassing, including all the " industrial strength " cleaning materials. Then we can add mold & all of the bacteria & viruses that remain suspended until you breathe it. I have not seen much evidence that indicates that the main stream of the IAQ industry has not come to grips with low-level exposures of toxins, allergens etc over sustain periods of time. I recommend reading a book by Doris Rapp, " Is this your Child " which goes into depth about becoming sensitized over time due to the low-level (most of the time undetectable & below EPA & OSHA standards) exposure. Some people are more sensitive than others and in others the symptoms are disregarded or blamed on other reasons.
