A recent study, co-authored by the US Department of Energy, estimated that bad air effects the US economy to the tune of $12-billion a year:
productivity suffers; worker absenteeism rises; employers can even face workers compensation claims, litigation, and structural damage to buildings.
Increasingly, today's employee is concerned with air quality. Seventy-five percent of people who are employed full-time ranked the quality of air at work as very important, according to the results of a nationwide survey conducted in July 2000 by Market Facts, an international market research firm. Regulations are putting more onus on employers and building owners to maintain a healthy indoor environment BC, for example, the Workers Compensation Board Occupational Health and Safety rules require adequate ventilation, preventative maintenance, and documented investigations of indoor air quality.
