Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
New building materials, water damage, or poor maintenance, can create indoor air pollution hazardous to a person’s health. Sources of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) problems (i.e. formaldehyde, mold, radon, etc.) can usually be prevented or corrected by simple measures. Therefore, to help homeowners and business owners recognize and correct problems they may be experiencing, the following sources of information have been compiled to enable readers to solve indoor air pollution problems. The information consists of guidance on most IAQ issues, associations, and professional resources should these services be needed. Authorization and resources do not allow the MDEQ to visit homes and businesses to test indoor air but the agency is striving to be of assistance through the information it is making available here.
