ATLANTA - Providing good indoor air quality (IAQ) can significantly enhance productivity and contribute positively to corporate profits, especially in office environments, according to Aerias, an online resource for IAQ information and education.
"Most companies underestimate the impact of IAQ on worker productivity. Sick building symptoms like watery eyes, runny nose, general malaise, and headache, may result from poor IAQ and make it virtually impossible for employees to concentrate and produce. There are several cost-effective steps businesses can take to begin to champion good IAQ in the workplace, saving time and money, and creating a better space in the long run," said Tony Worthan, MPH, president of Air Quality Sciences Inc., technical partner with Aerias.
