Clearwater, FL -- For more than twenty
years, health problems stemming from
building-related biological and
non-biological materials have been on the
rise, yet IAQ professionals have lacked a
starting point by which to compare
bacterial and fungal bioaerosol results in
a presently unregulated industry.
A
decade-long collaborative study was
conducted by Dr. Rajiv Sahay, Laboratory
Manager with the Environmental Diagnostics
Laboratory (EDLab™)
in Clearwater, FL along with
colleagues Dr. Monroe King, Alan Wozniak,
CIAQP, Francisco Aguirre, CIAQP, Dr. James
Kimbrough and Mark Wozniak, MBA, CIAQP.
During
this study, more than eleven thousand
indoor and outdoor bacterial and fungal
samples were taken in and around over
seven thousand commercial and residential
test sites across the United States. The
outcome of the study provides important
normative data on culturable bioaerosols
for both fungi and bacteria.
Findings
of this 10-year study entitled “Indoor
Environmental Quality (IEQ): A 10-Year
Case Study for Industry IEQ Guidelines”
were presented by Dr. Sahay at the
American Industrial Hygiene Conference
Expo in Anaheim, CA in late May. These
findings suggest guidelines for airborne
culturable bioaerosols for indoor
environmental quality that are designed to
help IAQ technicians, building
diagnosticians, environmental scientists
and other air quality professionals gain a
better understanding with relation to
building conditions, indoor air quality
and bioaerobiology.
