SAN FRANCISCO, CA — The week before the ASHRAE IAQ Conference was held here in early November, a warning was issued of possible terrorist threats against California’s bridges, including San Francisco’s Golden Gate. That warning did not prevent hvac and IAQ professionals from attending the conference. It was a standing-room-only event.
This in itself testifies to the importance of the topic. With public concerns running high over anthrax and other types of biological terrorism, IAQ is a very hot topic.
