Aerias, LLC, a provider of IAQ protocols used for measuring emissions from indoor work processes and manufacturing, has launched Aerias.org, a one-stop shop for information regarding indoor air quality and its impact on human health.
Aerias.org features the latest news streamed daily from Reuters Health eLine. Visitors can navigate virtual tours of an office building, a school, a home, and other locations to learn about specific indoor air quality issues within that space. They may click on the picture of a particular room within a commercial office building, such as the conference room, or a classroom in a school, and obtain information on potential pollutants present, their sources, and control measures.
The site also provides general facts on indoor air pollutants including their health effects and impact on asthma and allergies, and sick building syndrome. Biological and chemical pollutants are listed along with their sources and typical levels found in buildings.
Standards, verifiable laboratory test results, and guest columns bylined by IAQ experts comprise a portion of the content found at Aerias.org. Manufacturers who are participants in voluntary, independent product testing, such as those listed in www.greenguard.org , and whose products are among the lowest emittants of indoor air pollutants and VOCs in the global marketplace today, are showcased at Aerias.org.
Investigation protocols, such as those established by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and others are also featured.
