Eliminate potential sources of air pollutants

Potential sources of air pollutants include paint, glue and chemicals emitted by some fabrics and furniture. Eliminating these as much as possible is the most effective strategy for clearing the air.

Here’s how to start:

  • Specify low-emission office products and building materials.
  • Schedule routine cleaning of buildings and HVAC equipment.
  • Vent fuel-burning equipment outdoors.
  • Have an HVAC technician inspect equipment and ducts to make sure they’re properly sized and cleaned
  • Control humidity and temperature levels with dehumidification and zoning systems
