New scientific knowledge and media attention has increased the awareness of facility managers, workers, attorneys, and industrial hygienists about the potential of indoor air quality problems. Many of the problems are related to the “tightening” of buildings in order to become more energy efficient. Other problems are related to synthetic building materials, a lack of fresh air in the HVAC system, various outdoor sources, high humidity, temperature levels, and mold growth.
