  3. A wide array of chemicals may be found in commercial buildings and other facilities. Chemicals are used for many daily activities.

  4. Keeping a chemical inventory can assist the facility main-tenance staff in quickly identifying detected odors and can help prevent IAQ problems.

  5. Chemicals should not be stored directly next to return air ducts, other HVAC equipment, or electrical systems.

  6. Material safety data sheets provide an extensive listing of information on a product including potential hazards and permissible exposure limits.

  7. For chemicals that do not have a material safety data sheet, one may be requested from the chemical manufacturer or downloaded from the manufacturer’s website.

  8. An IAQ log contains a record of air-sampling readings and system adjustments for easy review.

  9. Contaminants can follow many different pathways. Each contaminant pathway can contribute to poor IAQ.
