If not addressed, poor indoor air quality can affect the health, performance and morale of faculty, staff and students.  Problems can arise from a number of sources, such as stale air, wet surfaces or materials causing growth of mold and bacteria, construction dust, or external contaminants that enter the ventilation system.  Tufts Industrial Health (IH), in conjunction with Facilities Services, can evaluate indoor air quality through investigative work, review of building systems, and/or conducting air monitoring or sampling.
