On
average we spend more than 70% of our time in our homes and offices, shops
and restaurants all in an indoor environment. The quality of indoor air
or IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) is therefore crucial to our health and well-being.
In fact, poor indoor air quality can cause discomfort and ill health,
leading in turn to absenteeism and low productivity in the workplace.
In view of growing concerns in this area, the government is addressing
indoor air pollution issues with a proposal to implement an IAQ management
programme in Hong Kong. As a pioneer in this area, EMSD is actively assisting government departments in participation and certification in the IAQ management programme. |
