Commonly used paints, adhesives, carpets and other building materials and furnishings, as well as many types of cleaning and maintenance products, emit gases that can cause eye and lung irritation and other health problems.
During your design and construction process, specify low-emitting materials that do not require frequent cleaning to help maintain good indoor air quality throughout the life of the building.
Also, protect all materials from moisture to avoid problems with biological contaminants, such as mold. Environmentally sound building products may require longer lead times for delivery, but you can manage this with advance planning.
By taking steps to protect air quality and ensure proper ventilation in your building or workspace, you can reduce employee absenteeism and boost productivity as you limit your liability and increase the marketability of your property.
