Indoor air quality is a growing concern. The amount of time we spend indoors is increasing -at least 90% of our time, according to a study by an American environmental institute -and while buildings are becoming more compact and enclosed in order to minimize energy loss, indoor air quality is deteriorating. As a result, indoor air quality is getting more and more attention from building owners, facility personnel, industrial hygienists and others to ensure a comfortable and healthy indoor environment. Indoor Air Quality Programs Make Testing Easy Comfort is measured in terms of temperature, humidity, ventilation and airflow, and TSI offers a wide range of testing equipment to help customers quickly and accurately assess the basics of indoor air quality. Ensuring comfort can dramatically increase employee satisfaction, as evidenced by increased cohesion and productivity, and improved employee attendance.

Creating a healthy environment Health and safety issues become an important part of air quality assessment. Biological substances, gases, vapors, and particles in the air can cause adverse reactions in some individuals, as determined by their sensitivity to particular substances and concentrations. These persistent and undesirable pollutants are potentially toxic, infectious, allergenic, unpleasant or harmful. Poor indoor air quality is ranked in the top five health problems by most major associations and organizations worldwide. Recent studies show that at least one-third of U.S. buildings have air quality problems. With the growing importance of air quality testing, it's time to be proactive in identifying and solving potential problems before they get out of hand, and TSI's indoor air quality testing equipment is designed to identify and solve these tough problems.
