This training presentation from FHM covers indoor air quality (IAQ). It discusses health effects like sick building syndrome and building-related illness. It also outlines common indoor air contaminants like combustion products, volatile chemicals, and biological agents. The document reviews potential sources of these contaminants and control methodologies like preventing outdoor sources, maintaining equipment, and meeting ventilation standards. It briefly mentions pending OSHA IAQ standards and existing legislation in New Jersey.
