Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Month is an annual observance that focuses on maintaining clean and healthy air inside buildings and homes. Traditionally observed in October in the United States, this month-long campaign raises awareness about the factors affecting indoor air quality and the steps to improve it.HISTORY OF INDOOR AIR QUALITY MONTH
The observance of Indoor Air Quality Month began in response to growing concerns about the health impacts of indoor air pollution. As people spend significant time indoors, the air quality in these environments is crucial to overall health and well-being. The campaign was initiated by health organizations, environmental groups, and government agencies, recognizing the need to address the often-overlooked issue of indoor air quality.
Indoor Air Quality Month educates the public about indoor air pollution sources, such as mold, dust mites, tobacco smoke, household chemicals, and gases like carbon monoxide and radon. The observance highlights the health risks of poor indoor air quality, including respiratory problems, allergies, asthma, and other serious health conditions. It also aims to promote effective strategies for improving indoor air quality, such as proper ventilation, use of air purifiers, regular cleaning and maintenance of HVAC systems, and reduction of indoor pollutants.INDOOR AIR QUALITY MONTH ACTIVITIES

Since its inception, Indoor Air Quality Month has played a crucial role in bringing attention to the importance of clean air in indoor environments. It has spurred action and conversation about how individuals and organizations can mitigate the risks associated with indoor air pollution. The observance has also contributed to policy discussions and developments related to environmental health and indoor air quality standards.
