Indoor Air Quality

Meaning

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) quantifies the condition of air within enclosed spaces, assessing levels of particulate matter, bioaerosols, and chemical contaminants that can adversely affect human physiology, including endocrine function. Poor IAQ exposes individuals to potential endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that mimic or block natural hormone action. Maintaining high IAQ is a necessary component of comprehensive wellness.
