Abstract:
The article provides information in solving indoor air quality (IAQ) problem of buildings. It contends that air testing is not the first step of the process. It discusses the process for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) tests. It also provides insights on how to lessen or control the IAQ problem. Moreover, it took the case of a jewelry store in Newbury Street in Boston and explained how to detect the IAQ problem by narrowing the sources of the stinky odor which revolves from hot, wet, ozone, and ultraviolet (UV).
