National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)The Clean Air Act, which was last amended in 1990, requires EPA to set National Ambient Air Quality Standards(40 CFR part 50) for pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. The Clean Air Act established two types of national air quality standards. Primary standards set limits to protect public health, including the health of "sensitive" populations such as asthmatics, children, and the elderly. Secondary standards set limits to protect public welfare, including protection against decreased visibility, damage to animals, crops, vegetation, and buildings.The EPA Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) has set National Ambient Air Quality Standards for six principal pollutants, which are called "criteria" pollutants. They are listed below. Units of measure for the standards are parts per million (ppm) by volume, parts per billion (ppb - 1 part in 1,000,000,000) by volume, milligrams per cubic meter of air (mg/m3), and micrograms per cubic meter of air (µg/m3).(1) Not to be exceeded more than once per year.(2) Final rule signed October 15, 2008.(3) The official level of the annual NO2 standard is 0.053 ppm, equal to 53 ppb, which is shown here for the purpose of clearer comparison to the 1-hour standard(4)To attain this standard, the 3-year average of the 98th percentile of the daily maximum 1-hour average at each monitor within an area must not exceed 100 ppb (effective January 22, 2010).(5) Not to be exceeded more than once per year on average over 3 years.(6) To attain this standard, the 3-year average of the weighted annual mean PM2.5 concentrations from single or multiple community-oriented monitors must not exceed 15.0 µg/m3.(7) To attain this standard, the 3-year average of the 98th percentile of 24-hour concentrations at each population-oriented monitor within an area must not exceed 35 µg/m3 (effective December 17, 2006).(8)To attain this standard, the 3-year average of the fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone concentrations measured at each monitor within an area over each year must not exceed 0.075 ppm. (effective May 27, 2008)(9) (a) To attain this standard, the 3-year average of the fourth-highest daily maximum 8-hour average ozone concentrations measured at each monitor within an area over each year must not exceed0.08 ppm.(b) The 1997 standard—and the implementation rules for that standard—will remain in place for implementation purposes as EPA undertakes rulemaking to address the transition from the 1997 ozone standard to the 2008 ozone standard.(c) EPA is in the process of reconsidering these standards (set in March 2008).(10) (a) EPA revoked the 1-hour ozone standard in all areas, although some areas have continuing obligations under that standard ("anti-backsliding").(b) The standard is attained when the expected number of days per calendar year with maximum hourly average concentrations above 0.12 ppm is < 1.(11) (a) Final rule signed June 2, 2010. To attain this standard, the 3-year average of the 99th percentile of the daily maximum 1-hour average at each monitor within an area must not exceed 75 ppb.National Secondary Drinking Water RegulationsNational Secondary Drinking Water Regulations (NSDWRs or secondary standards) are non-enforceable guidelines regulating contaminants that may cause cosmetic effects (such as skin or tooth discoloration) or aesthetic effects (such as taste, odor, or color) in drinking water. EPA recommends secondary standards to water systems but does not require systems to comply. However, states may choose to adopt them as enforceable standards.List of National Secondary Drinking Water RegulationsContaminant Secondary StandardAluminum0.05 to 0.2 mg/LChloride250 mg/LColor15 (color units)Copper 1.0 mg/LCorrosivity noncorrosiveFluoride 2.0 mg/LFoaming Agents0.5 mg/LIron0.3 mg/LManganese0.05 mg/LOdor 3 threshold odor numberpH 6.5-8.5Silver0.10 mg/LSulfate250 mg/LTotal Dissolved Solids500 mg/L Zinc 5 mg/L MicroorganismsContaminant MCLG1(mg/L)2MCL orTT1(mg/L)2Potential Health Effects fromLong-Term Exposure Above the MCL(unless specified as short-term)Sources ofContaminant inDrinking WaterCryptosporidium zero TT 3Gastrointestinal illness (e.g.,diarrhea, vomiting, cramps)Human and animalfecal wasteGiardia lamblia zero TT3Gastrointestinal illness (e.g.,diarrhea, vomiting, cramps)Human and animalfecal wasteHeterotrophic plate count n/a TT3HPC has no health effects; it is ananalytic method used to measure thevariety of bacteria that are commonin water.

It is used toindicate water quality andfiltration effectiveness (e.g.,whether disease-causing organismsare present). Higher turbiditylevels are often associated withhigher levels of disease-causing microorganisms such as viruses,Soil runoffparasites and some bacteria. These organisms can cause symptoms such as nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and associated headaches.Viruses (enteric)zero TT 3Gastrointestinal illness (e.g., diarrhea, vomiting, cramps)Human and animal fecal wasteDisinfection ByproductsContaminantMCLG 1(mg/L)2MCL or TT 1(mg/L)2Potential Health Effects fromLong-Term Exposure Above the MCL (unless specified as short-term)Sources of Contaminant inDrinking WaterBromatezero0.010Increased risk of cancerByproduct ofdrinking water disinfectionChlorite0.81.0Anemia;

MCLGs allow for a margin of safety and are non-enforceable public health goals. Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) - The highest level of a contaminant that is allowed in drinking water. MCLs are set as close to MCLGs as feasible using the best available treatment technology and taking cost into consideration. MCLs are enforceable standards. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level Goal (MRDLG) - The level of a drinking water disinfectant below which there is no known or expected risk to health. MRDLGs do not reflect the benefits of the use of disinfectants to control microbial contaminants. Treatment Technique - A required process intended to reduce the level of a contaminant in drinking water. Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level (MRDL) - The highest level of a disinfectant allowed in drinking water. There is convincing evidence that addition of a disinfectant is necessary for control of microbial contaminants.2 Units are in milligrams per liter (mg/L) unless otherwise noted. Milligrams per liter are equivalent to parts per million.3 EPA's surface water treatment rules require systems using surface water or ground water under the direct influence of surface water to (1) disinfect their water, and (2) filter their water or meet criteria for avoiding filtration so that the following contaminants are controlled at the following levels:•Cryptosporidium: Unfiltered systems are required to include Cryptosporidium in their existing watershed control provisions.•Giardia lamblia: 99.9% removal/inactivation•Viruses: 99.99% removal/inactivation•Legionella: No limit, but EPA believes that if Giardia and viruses are removed/inactivated, according to the treatment techniques in the Surface Water Treatment Rule, Legionella will also be controlled.•Turbidity: For systems that use conventional or direct filtration, at not time can turbidity (cloudiness of water) go higher than 1 nephelolometric turbidity unit NTU), and samples for turbidity must be less than or equal to 0.3 NTU in at least 95 pervent of the samples in any month. Systems that use filtration other than the conventional or direct filtration must follow state limits, which must include turbidity at no timeexceeding 5 NTU.•HPC: No more than 500 bacterial colonies per milliliter.•Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment: Surface water systems or (GWUDI) systems serving fewer than 10,000 people must comply with the applicable Long Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule provisions (e.g. turbidity standards, individual filter monitoring, Cryptosporidium removal requirements, updated watershed controlrequirements for unfiltered systems).•Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule This rule applies to all surface water systems or ground water systems under the direct influence of surface water. The rule targets additional Cryptosporidium treatment requirements for higher risk systems and includes provisions to reduce risks from uncovered finished water storage facilities and to ensure that the systems maintain microbial protection as they take steps to reduce the formation of disinfection byproducts.•Filter Backwash Recycling; The Filter Backwash Recycling Rule requires systems that recycle to return specific recycle flows through all processes of the system's existing conventional or direct filtration system or at an alternate location approved by the state.4 No more than 5.0% samples total coliform-positive in a month. (For water systems that collect fewer than 40 routine samples per month, no more than one sample can be total coliform-positive per month.) Every sample that has total coliform must be analyzed for either fecal coliforms or E. coli if two consecutive TC-positive samples, and one is also positive for E.coli fecal coliforms, system has an acute MCL violation.5 Fecal coliform and E. coli are bacteria whose presence indicates that the water may be contaminated with human or animal wastes. Disease-causing microbes (pathogens) in these wastes can cause diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. These pathogens may pose a special health risk for infants, young children, and people with severely compromised immune systems.6 Although there is no collective MCLG for this contaminant group, there are individual MCLGs for some of the individual contaminants:•Trihalomethanes: bromodichloromethane (zero); bromoform (zero); dibromochloromethane(0.06 mg/L): chloroform (0.07mg/L).•Haloacetic acids: dichloroacetic acid (zero); trichloroacetic acid (0.02 mg/L);monochloroacetic acid (0.07 mg/L). Bromoacetic acid and dibromoacetic acid are regulated with this group but have no MCLGs.7 Lead and copper are regulated by a Treatment Technique that requires systems to control thecorrosiveness of their water. If more than 10% of tap water samples exceed the action level, water systems must take additional steps. For copper, the action level is 1.3 mg/L, and for lead is 0.015 mg/L.8 Each water system must certify, in writing, to the state (using third-party or manufacturer's certification) that when acrylamide and epichlorohydrin are used to treat water, the combination (or product) of dose and monomer level does not exceed the levels specified, as follows:•Acrylamide = 0.05% dosed at 1 mg/L (or equivalent)•Epichlorohydrin = 0.01% dosed at 20 mg/L (or equivalent)欢迎您的下载，资料仅供参考！。

房间甲醛标准
甲醛是一种常见的有机挥发性化合物，在室内装修和家具制造中可能释放出来，对人体健康造成潜在威胁。

不同国家和地区对室内甲醛浓度的标准有所不同，以下是一些常见的室内甲醛标准：
1. 中国标准：中国国家标准GB/T 18883-2002《室内空气质量标准》规定了室内空气中甲醛的标准限值。

根据该标准，居住建筑室内甲醛浓度的限值为每立方米不超过0.1毫克。

2. 美国标准：美国环保署（EPA）建议室内甲醛浓度不超过每立方米0.1至0.05毫克。

此外，美国加利福尼亚州CARB（California Air Resources Board）还颁布了关于构建材料中甲醛排放的严格标准。

3. 欧盟标准：欧盟对于甲醛排放有相应的法规。

根据EN 717-1标准，新装修室内甲醛浓度应小于每立方米0.1毫克。

INTRODUCTIONThe average person sends approximately 90% of their time indoors. Studies haveindicated that indoor air is often dirtier and/or contains higher levels of contaminants than outdoor air. Because of this and increased awareness regarding poor indoor air quality (IAQ), it is not surprising that the number of reported employee complaints of discomfort and illness in non-industrial workplaces is increasing.WHEN DID POOR INDOOR AIR QUALITY BECOME A PROBLEM?Beginning in the mid-1970s, IAQ complaints increased for two reasons. The main reason was the impact of the energy crisis. To reduce heating and cooling costs, buildings were made “airtight” with insulation and sealed windows. In addition, the amount of outside air introduced into buildings was reduced. The second reason is that more chemical-containing products,office supplies, equipment, and pesticides have been introduced into the office environment increasing employee exposure. Thesechanges created IAQ health problems known as Sick Building Syndrome (SBS) or Building-Related Illnesses (BRI).WHAT IS SICK BUILDINGSYNDROME?A workplace is characterized with SBS when a substantial number of building occupants experience health and comfort problems that can be related to working indoors. Additionally,Richard J. Codey Acting GovernorINDOOR AIR QUALITYPublic Employees Occupational Safety andHealth ProgramNovember, 2004the reported symptoms do not fit the pattern of any particular illness, are difficult to trace to any specific source, and relief from thesesymptoms occurs upon leaving the building.WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OF SICKBUILDING SYNDROME?Employee symptoms of SBS may include headaches; eye, nose, and throat irritation; dry or itchy skin; fatigue; dizziness; nausea; and loss of concentration.WHAT ARE BUILDING-RELATEDILLNESSES?A workplace is characterized with BRI when a relatively small number of employees experience health problems. Symptomsassociated with BRI are generally different from those associated with SBS and are often accompanied by physical signs that are identified by a physician and/or laboratoryfindings. Relief from the illness may not occur upon leaving the building. BRI are caused by microbial contamination and/or specificchemical exposures that can result in allergic and/or infectious responses. Microbialcontamiantion occurs when viruses, bacteria,or molds accumulate in areas such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning(HVAC) systems, water-damaged ceiling tiles and carpets, hot water heaters, andhumidifiers. Chemical exposures can be generated from specific sources within the workplace, such as formaldehyde emitted from newly installed carpets.WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS OFBUILDING-RELATED ILLNESSES?Employee symptoms of BRI may include eye, nose, throat, and upper respiratory irritation; skin irritation or rashes; chills; fever; cough; chest tightness; congestion; sneezing; runny nose; muscle aches; and pneumonia. Examples of BRI include asthma; hypersensitivity pneumonitis; multiple chemical sensitivity; and Legionnaires’ Disease.WHAT ARE THE SPECIFIC CAUSESOF SBS AND BRI?The IAQ problems that cause SBS and/or BRI may include:Lack of fresh air;If insufficient fresh air is introduced intooccupied spaces, the air becomes stagnant and odors and contaminants accumulate.Lack of fresh air in occupied areas is thenumber one cause of SBS.Poorly maintained or operated ventilation systems;Mechanial ventilation systems must beproperly maintained and operated based on the original design or prescribed procedures.If these systems are neglected, their ability to provide adequate IAQ decreases. Oneproblem associated with poorly maintainedsystems is missing, overloaded, or inefficient filters. This can cause higher levels of dust, pollen, and cigarette smoke to enteroccupied spaces. Another problem isclogged condensate drain pans and drainlines in HVAC systems, which allow water to accumulate. The accumulation of water can lead to microbial contamination. Poorlymaintained ventilation systems cancontribute to both SBS and BRI.Disruption of air circulation throughout the occupied spaces;The quality of the air depends on the effectiveness of air distribution. If the air circulation is disrupted, blocked, or otherwise does not reach occupied areas, it can become stagnant. File cabinets, bookshelves, stored boxes, dropped ceiling tiles, added office walls, cubicles, and partitions can block or divert the supply of air to occupied spaces.Poorly regulated temperature and relative humidity levels;If the temperature and/or relative humidity levels are too high or too low, employees may experience discomfort, loss of concentration, eye and throat irritation, dry skin, sinus headaches, nosebleeds, and the inability to wear contact lenses. If relative humidity levels are too high, microbial contamination can build up and can cause BRI.Indoor and outdoor sources of contamination;Chemical emissions can contribute to BRI and SBS. Chemical contaminants in an office environment either originate from indoor sources or are introduced from outdoor sources. Common sources include emissions from office machinery or photocopiers; cigarette smoke; insulation; pesticides; wood products; synthetic plastics; newly installed carpets; glues and adhesives; new furnishings; cleaning fluids; paints; solvents; boiler emissions; vehicle exhaust; roof renovations; and contaminated air from exhaust stacks. Contaminants found in indoor environments can also include radon; ozone; formaldehyde; volatile organic compounds; ammonia; carbon monoxide; particulates; nitrogen and sulfure oxides; and asbestos.2WHAT IS CONSIDEREDACCEPTABLE IAQ?The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) defines acceptable IAQ as:“air in which there are no knowncontaminants at harmful concentrations asdetermined by cognizant authorities and with which a substantial majority (80% or more) of the people exposed do not expressdissatisfaction.”WHAT CAN BE DONE IF THE AIRQUALITY IS UNACCEPTABLE?In order to understand and resolve IAQ problems and concerns, standard investigative procedures should be followed. Investigating IAQ complaints, however, can be very complicated due to employee concerns, unknown sources of contamination, and the complexities of buildings and their ventilation systems. The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH) Program recommends the following general investigative procedures:•Conduct employee interviews to obtainpertinent information regarding whatsymptoms are being experienced, howmany employees are affected, when theyare affected, where they work, what theydo, etc. - this information may identifypossible IAQ problems;•Review building operations andmaintenance procedures to determinewhen and what type of chemicals are being used during cleaning, floor waxing andstripping, painting, gluing, pesticidespraying, roofing operations, and renovation and construction activities, etc. - alsodetermine when deliveries occur, whichmay generate vehicle exhaust, or iffurniture, drapery, or office equipment hasbeen recently installed;•Conduct a walk-through inspection toevaluate possible sources that maycontribute to IAQ complaints;•Inspect the HVAC system, window airconditioners, office dehumidifiers, etc., inorder to determine if the systems areworking properly and are in good condition;•Review the building blueprints of theductwork and ventilation system todetermine if the system is adequatelydesigned;•Conduct air sampling, if necessary, todetermine if specific contaminants arepresent or if adequate fresh air is beingsupplied.HOW CAN IAQ PROBLEMS BE CORRECTED AND/OR PREVENTED? ENSURE ADEQUATE FRESH AIR SUPPLYThis has been shown to be the single most effective method for correcting and preventing IAQ problems and complaints. To ensure that adequate fresh air is supplied to occupied spaces, the following is recommended:• A preventive maintenance schedule mustbe developed and followed in accordancewith the manufacturer’s recommendationsor with accepted practice to ensure that theventilation systems are properly checked,maintained, and documented.•The preventive maintenance scheduleshould include the inspection andmaintenance of ventilation equipment and/or system, making sure that:−outdoor air supply dampers are opened as designed and remain unobstructed;3−fan belts are operating properly, in good condition, and replaced when necessary;−equipment parts are lubricated;−motors are properly functioning and in good operating condition;−diffusers are open and unobstructed for adequate air mixing;−the system is properly balanced;−filters are properly installed and replaced at specified intervals;−components that are damaged orinoperable are replaced or repaired as appropriate; and −condensate pans are properly draining and in good condition.•To achieve acceptable IAQ, outdoor airshould be adequately distributed to all office areas at a minimum rate of 20 cubic feet per minute (cfm) per person OR theconcentration of all known contaminants of concern be restricted to some specified acceptable levels as identified in ASHRAE’s “Ventiliation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality” Standard.•To determine if the ventilation system iseffectively providing adequate fresh air,carbon dioxide (CO 2) levels should be measured; ASHRAE sets the standard(ASHRAE 62-1989) of 1000 ppm of CO 2 as the maximum recommended level for acceptable IAQ; CO 2, a byproduct of human respiration, is an indicator of the lack of fresh outdoor air and is not considered harmful at this level.•If possible, gauges should be installed toprovide information on air volumes delivered by supply and return fans.Maintenance staff should be trained to read the gauges and respond appropriately.• A sufficient supply of outside air should beprovided to all occupied spaces. Aninsufficient supply can cause the building to be at negative pressure, allowing untreated air and/or contaminants to infiltrate from outside. This can be determined byobserving the direction of air movement at windows and doors. In order to prevent this problem, the air supply and exhaust system must be properly balanced.•If the office layout is changed (e.g., byerecting partitions or new walls), ensure that adequate air flow and distribution is maintained.•Ventilation system filters should have amoderate efficiency rating (60% or more),as measured by the ASHRAE atmospheric dust spot test, and be of an extended surface type. To determine if the filters have the appropriate efficiency rating,check with the manufacturer. Prefilters (e.g., roll type) should be used before air passes through higher efficiency filters.•Avoid overcrowding of employees, andmake sure that the proper amount of outdoor air is provided based on the number of occupants.ELIMINATE OR CONTROL ALL KNOWN AND POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CONTAMINANTS,BOTH CHEMICAL AND MICROBIAL To Control Chemical Contamination:•Hazardous chemicals should be removed orsubstituted by less hazardous or non-hazardous chemicals, where possible.•Properly store all chemicals to minimizeexposure hazards.4•Use local exhaust ventilation to capture and remove contaminants generated by specific processes where appropriate. Ensure that local exhaust does not recirculate the contaminated air, but directly exhausts the contaminant outdoors. Check with the manufacturer of your office machines for guidance on ventilation requirements for their equipment.•Check to be sure that HVAC fresh air intakes or other building vents or openings are not located in close proximity to potential sources of contamination (e.g., places where motor vehicle emissions collect, downwind of exhausts, cooling towers). If necessary, raise stacks or relocate intakes or exhausts.•Isolate areas of renovation such as painting, carpet installation, etc., from occupied nonconstruction areas, through use of physical barriers and isolation of involved ventilation systems. If possible, perform this type of work in the evening or on weekends. Supplying the maximum amount of fresh air to these areas can assist in the dispersion of contaminant levels.•Use a licensed pesticide applicator for pesticide applications and follow their recommendations regarding appropriate ventilation controls.•Eliminate or reduce cigarette smoke. Smoking restrictions or designated smoking areas should be considered. The air from designated smoking areas must not be recirculated to non-smoking areas of the building.To Control Microbial Contamination:•Promptly detect and permanently repair all areas where water collection or leakage has occurred.•Maintain relative humidity at less than 60% in all occupied spaces and low air-velocity plenums. During the summer, cooling coils should be run at a low enough temperature to properly dehumidify conditioned air.•Check for, correct, and prevent further accumulation of stagnant water by maintaining proper drainage of drain pans under the cooling coils.•Due to dust or dirt accumulation ormoisture-related problems downstream ofheat exchange components (as in ductworkor plenum), additional filtration downstream may be necessary before air is introducedinto occupied areas.•Heat exchange components and drain pans should be accessible so maintenance personnel can easily inspect and clean them. Access panels or doors should be installed where needed.•Non-porous surfaces where moisture collection has promoted microbial growth(e.g., drain pans, cooling coils) should be properly cleaned and disinfected. Careshould be taken to ensure that these chemical cleaners are removed before ventilation systems are reactivated.•Porous building materials contaminated with microbial growth, such as carpets and ceiling tiles, must be replaced or disinfected to effectively eliminate contamination. Note that the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends that contaminated porous materials should be discarded.5RESOURCESAgencies and organizations that provide information on indoor air quality:New Jersey State Department of Health and Senior ServicesPEOSH Program, 7th FloorPO Box 360Trenton, NJ 08625-0360(609) 984-1863The PEOSH Program has an Indoor Air Quality Standard (N.J.A.C. 100-13) for public employees in New Jersey.

Contaminants found in indoor environments can also include radon; ozone; formaldehyde; volatile organic compounds; ammonia; carbon monoxide; particulates; nitrogen and sulfure oxides; and asbestos.2WHAT IS CONSIDEREDACCEPTABLE IAQ?The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE) defines acceptable IAQ as:“air in which there are no knowncontaminants at harmful concentrations asdetermined by cognizant authorities and with which a substantial majority (80% or more) of the people exposed do not expressdissatisfaction.”WHAT CAN BE DONE IF THE AIRQUALITY IS UNACCEPTABLE?In order to understand and resolve IAQ problems and concerns, standard investigative procedures should be followed. Investigating IAQ complaints, however, can be very complicated due to employee concerns, unknown sources of contamination, and the complexities of buildings and their ventilation systems. The New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health (PEOSH) Program recommends the following general investigative procedures:•Conduct employee interviews to obtainpertinent information regarding whatsymptoms are being experienced, howmany employees are affected, when theyare affected, where they work, what theydo, etc. - this information may identifypossible IAQ problems;•Review building operations andmaintenance procedures to determinewhen and what type of chemicals are being used during cleaning, floor waxing andstripping, painting, gluing, pesticidespraying, roofing operations, and renovation and construction activities, etc. - alsodetermine when deliveries occur, whichmay generate vehicle exhaust, or iffurniture, drapery, or office equipment hasbeen recently installed;•Conduct a walk-through inspection toevaluate possible sources that maycontribute to IAQ complaints;•Inspect the HVAC system, window airconditioners, office dehumidifiers, etc., inorder to determine if the systems areworking properly and are in good condition;•Review the building blueprints of theductwork and ventilation system todetermine if the system is adequatelydesigned;•Conduct air sampling, if necessary, todetermine if specific contaminants arepresent or if adequate fresh air is beingsupplied.HOW CAN IAQ PROBLEMS BE CORRECTED AND/OR PREVENTED? ENSURE ADEQUATE FRESH AIR SUPPLYThis has been shown to be the single most effective method for correcting and preventing IAQ problems and complaints. To ensure that adequate fresh air is supplied to occupied spaces, the following is recommended:• A preventive maintenance schedule mustbe developed and followed in accordancewith the manufacturer’s recommendationsor with accepted practice to ensure that theventilation systems are properly checked,maintained, and documented.•The preventive maintenance scheduleshould include the inspection andmaintenance of ventilation equipment and/or system, making sure that:−outdoor air supply dampers are opened as designed and remain unobstructed;3−fan belts are operating properly, in good condition, and replaced when necessary;−equipment parts are lubricated;−motors are properly functioning and in good operating condition;−diffusers are open and unobstructed for adequate air mixing;−the system is properly balanced;−filters are properly installed and replaced at specified intervals;−components that are damaged orinoperable are replaced or repaired as appropriate; and −condensate pans are properly draining and in good condition.•To achieve acceptable IAQ, outdoor airshould be adequately distributed to all office areas at a minimum rate of 20 cubic feet per minute (cfm) per person OR theconcentration of all known contaminants of concern be restricted to some specified acceptable levels as identified in ASHRAE’s “Ventiliation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality” Standard.•To determine if the ventilation system iseffectively providing adequate fresh air,carbon dioxide (CO 2) levels should be measured; ASHRAE sets the standard(ASHRAE 62-1989) of 1000 ppm of CO 2 as the maximum recommended level for acceptable IAQ; CO 2, a byproduct of human respiration, is an indicator of the lack of fresh outdoor air and is not considered harmful at this level.•If possible, gauges should be installed toprovide information on air volumes delivered by supply and return fans.Maintenance staff should be trained to read the gauges and respond appropriately.• A sufficient supply of outside air should beprovided to all occupied spaces. Aninsufficient supply can cause the building to be at negative pressure, allowing untreated air and/or contaminants to infiltrate from outside. This can be determined byobserving the direction of air movement at windows and doors. In order to prevent this problem, the air supply and exhaust system must be properly balanced.•If the office layout is changed (e.g., byerecting partitions or new walls), ensure that adequate air flow and distribution is maintained.•Ventilation system filters should have amoderate efficiency rating (60% or more),as measured by the ASHRAE atmospheric dust spot test, and be of an extended surface type. To determine if the filters have the appropriate efficiency rating,check with the manufacturer. Prefilters (e.g., roll type) should be used before air passes through higher efficiency filters.•Avoid overcrowding of employees, andmake sure that the proper amount of outdoor air is provided based on the number of occupants.ELIMINATE OR CONTROL ALL KNOWN AND POTENTIAL SOURCES OF CONTAMINANTS,BOTH CHEMICAL AND MICROBIAL To Control Chemical Contamination:•Hazardous chemicals should be removed orsubstituted by less hazardous or non-hazardous chemicals, where possible.•Properly store all chemicals to minimizeexposure hazards.4•Use local exhaust ventilation to capture and remove contaminants generated by specific processes where appropriate. Ensure that local exhaust does not recirculate the contaminated air, but directly exhausts the contaminant outdoors. Check with the manufacturer of your office machines for guidance on ventilation requirements for their equipment.•Check to be sure that HVAC fresh air intakes or other building vents or openings are not located in close proximity to potential sources of contamination (e.g., places where motor vehicle emissions collect, downwind of exhausts, cooling towers). If necessary, raise stacks or relocate intakes or exhausts.•Isolate areas of renovation such as painting, carpet installation, etc., from occupied nonconstruction areas, through use of physical barriers and isolation of involved ventilation systems. If possible, perform this type of work in the evening or on weekends. Supplying the maximum amount of fresh air to these areas can assist in the dispersion of contaminant levels.•Use a licensed pesticide applicator for pesticide applications and follow their recommendations regarding appropriate ventilation controls.•Eliminate or reduce cigarette smoke. Smoking restrictions or designated smoking areas should be considered. The air from designated smoking areas must not be recirculated to non-smoking areas of the building.To Control Microbial Contamination:•Promptly detect and permanently repair all areas where water collection or leakage has occurred.•Maintain relative humidity at less than 60% in all occupied spaces and low air-velocity plenums. During the summer, cooling coils should be run at a low enough temperature to properly dehumidify conditioned air.•Check for, correct, and prevent further accumulation of stagnant water by maintaining proper drainage of drain pans under the cooling coils.•Due to dust or dirt accumulation ormoisture-related problems downstream ofheat exchange components (as in ductworkor plenum), additional filtration downstream may be necessary before air is introducedinto occupied areas.•Heat exchange components and drain pans should be accessible so maintenance personnel can easily inspect and clean them. Access panels or doors should be installed where needed.•Non-porous surfaces where moisture collection has promoted microbial growth(e.g., drain pans, cooling coils) should be properly cleaned and disinfected. Careshould be taken to ensure that these chemical cleaners are removed before ventilation systems are reactivated.•Porous building materials contaminated with microbial growth, such as carpets and ceiling tiles, must be replaced or disinfected to effectively eliminate contamination. Note that the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) recommends that contaminated porous materials should be discarded.5RESOURCESAgencies and organizations that provide information on indoor air quality:New Jersey State Department of Health and Senior ServicesPEOSH Program, 7th FloorPO Box 360Trenton, NJ 08625-0360(609) 984-1863The PEOSH Program has an Indoor Air Quality Standard (N.J.A.C. 100-13) for public employees in New Jersey.

vocs 环境空气标准VOCs环境空气标准VOCs（挥发性有机化合物）是一类在常温下易挥发到空气中的化合物。

它们主要来源于工业生产、交通尾气、家庭使用化学产品等。

由于VOCs在空气中的存在对人体健康和环境产生潜在危害，各国都制定了相关的环境空气标准来规定和限制VOCs的排放。

本文将对全球范围内的VOCs环境空气标准进行介绍。

1. 美国环境保护署（EPA）标准美国EPA是全球VOCs监测和标准制定的领导者之一。

根据EPA的规定，美国将VOCs分为两类：可扩散性有机化合物（SVOCS）和反应性有机化合物（ROCS）。

对于不同类别的VOCs，美国制定了不同的标准。

1.1 可扩散性有机化合物（SVOCS）SVOCS主要来自于石油和天然气开采、石油化工等行业。

在美国，SVOCS的标准主要包括工业设施的挥发性有机物排放标准和汽车尾气排放标准。

工业设施的标准根据行业的不同来制定，而汽车尾气排放标准则规定了汽车在行驶过程中VOCs的排放限值。

1.2 反应性有机化合物（ROCS）ROCS多为含挥发性有机溶剂的产品，如油漆、涂料、清洁剂等。

美国EPA对ROCS制定了严格的排放限制和控制措施，旨在减少这类产品对空气质量的负面影响。

此外，EPA还制定了室内空气质量标准，要求室内环境中ROCS的浓度不得超过一定限值。

2. 欧盟VOCs标准欧盟对VOCs的标准主要体现在室内空气质量和涂料产品方面。

2.1 室内空气质量标准欧洲委员会发布了《欧洲室内空气质量标准》（EU-RDI）指令，其中包括了对室内环境中VOCs的监测和限制要求。

根据该指令，各成员国需要设立国家室内空气质量标准，规定在室内空气中可容忍的VOCs浓度。

此外，欧洲委员会还对建筑材料、室内家具等产品的VOCs限制做出了明确规定。

2.2 涂料产品标准欧盟对含VOCs的涂料产品制定了严格的标准。

根据欧洲涂料工业联合会（CEPE）制定的《欧洲涂料产品VOCs指令》（CEPE VOCs Directive），各成员国要对涂料产品的VOCs含量进行监控，并规定了不同类型涂料产品的排放限值。

FACT SHEETSTANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE FOR ELECTRIC UTILITY, INDUSTRIAL-COMMERCIAL-INSTITUTIONAL, AND SMALL INDUSTRIAL-COMMERCIAL-INSTITUTIONAL STEAM GENERATING UNITSACTION•On February 9, 2006, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated a regulation that will reduce emissions of criteria air pollutants from utility, industrial, commercial, and institutional steam generating units. Criteria air pollutants are found throughout the country and include: nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), and lead (Pb).•Utility steam generating units are located at electric power generating stations that burn fossil fuels. Industrial, institutional, and commercial boilers are located at industrial sites,institutions, and commercial sites (e.g., college or university; office building; hospital; hotel;town, city, county, State or Federal government; etc.) which burn fossil fuels, wood, ormunicipal-type solid waste.•The final rule will establish emission standards for the following three air pollutants from utility units: PM, SO2, and NO x. The final rule also will amend PM and SO2 emissionstandards from industrial, institutional, and commercial units.•The emission limits in the final rule are based on levels that can be achieved by installing emissions control equipment known as fabric filters for PM control, wet scrubbers for control of SO2, and selective catalytic reduction for control of NO x. Other emission controltechnologies could also be used, as long as they meet the required emission limits.•The final rule consists of new source performance standards (NSPS) for new (built after February 28, 2005), modified, and reconstructed utility, industrial, institutional, andcommercial steam generating units. Units built before February 28, 2005, will not be subject to this rule.air toxics programs require controls for boilers equivalent to those established by this rule, the final rule substantially tightens the existing NSPS. The existing and final utility NSPS are shown below along with the percent decrease for each pollutant.Pollutant Existing NSPS Final NSPS Percent DecreaseNO x 1.6 lb/MWh 1.0 lb/MWh 38%SO20.6 lb/MMBtu 1.4 lb/MWh ~75%PM 0.03 lb/MMBtu 0.015 lb/MMBtu 50%•For industrial, institutional, and commercial boilers, both the SO2 and PM standards have been amended. The final PM standard is consistent with the new source limits of 0.03lb/MMBtu included in EPA’s recently issued national air toxics standards for boilers. The final standard represents a 70% reduction in the PM limit for non-utility boilers.• A new utility, industrial, or commercial steam generating unit must demonstrate compliance with the emission standards in the NSPS upon commercial start-up. Utility units regulated by the proposed Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) will select NO x and SO2 controls as tight or tighter than this final rule.•EPA estimates that 5 new utility units and 186 new industrial units will be impacted by the final rule over the next 5 years.BACKGROUND•The Clean Air Act requires EPA to review NSPS for utility, industrial, institutional, and commercial steam generating units that reflect the application of emissions controls known as best demonstrated technology.•Utility NSPS were first established in 1978, and NSPS for large boilers were first established in 1984. The NO x standards were revised for both utility and large boilers in 1997. NSPS for small boilers were established in 1989, and none of the small boiler limits have been amended to date.•Utilities often install tighter controls than required by existing NSPS because of the existence on new source review (NSR) and cap and trade programs. The primary impact of theamended NSPS will be on units not subject to either NSR or a cap and trade program. The final rule is generally less strict than required when a unit is subject to NSR. In addition, units regulated by the proposed Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR) will select NO x and SO2 controls as tight or tighter than those required by this2final rule.•EPA is under a consent decree Our Children=s Earth Foundation and Sierra Club to promulgate the final rule by February 9, 2006.FOR MORE INFORMATION•To download the final rule from EPA=s web site, go to A Recent Actions@ at the following address: /ttn/oarpg.•For further information about the final rule, contact Mr. Christian Fellner at EPA=s Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards at 919-541-4003.•For other combustion-related regulations, visit EPA=s Combustion Related Rules page at: /ttn/atw/combust/list.html.3。

环境空气质量等级标准英文
中国的环境空气质量等级标准对空气质量进行了分级，常用的标准为GB 3095-2012《环境空气质量标准》。

以下是该标准中规定的六个级别的环境空气质量等级及其对应的英文表示：
1.一级（Grade I）：
•英文表示：Excellent
2.二级（Grade II）：
•英文表示：Good
3.三级（Grade III）：
•英文表示：Lightly Polluted
4.四级（Grade IV）：
•英文表示：Moderately Polluted
5.五级（Grade V）：
•英文表示：Heavily Polluted
6.六级（Grade VI）：
•英文表示：Severely Polluted
这些等级用于评估空气质量的优劣程度，从一级到六级，分别代表了从最好到最差的空气质量。

各个级别都对应了一定的空气质量指标范围，例如PM2.5、PM10、二氧化硫（SO2）、一氧化碳（CO）、臭氧（O3）、氮氧化物（NO2）等。

根据监测结果，空气质量等级会被确定，并相应采取措施进行环境保护。

请注意，不同国家和地区可能有各自的环境空气质量标准，上述
标准是中国的标准。

在其他国家，可能会使用不同的等级和标准。

美国甲醛标准
美国对甲醛的标准一直备受关注，因为甲醛是一种常见的有毒化学物质，对人体健康有潜在的危害。

甲醛主要用于制造胶合板、家具、建筑材料和纺织品等。

因此，美国对甲醛的标准和监管显得尤为重要。

首先，美国环保局（EPA）对甲醛的排放标准进行了严格限制。

根据EPA的规定，室内空气中甲醛的浓度不得超过0.1ppm（每百万份气体中甲醛的浓度）。

这一标准适用于家具、建筑材料和其他室内装饰材料的生产和使用。

同时，EPA还对甲醛的排放源进行了详细的规定，要求生产商和使用者必须在生产、运输和使用过程中严格控制甲醛的排放，以保护公众健康。

其次，美国消费品安全委员会（CPSC）也对甲醛含量进行了监管。

CPSC规定，家具和纺织品等产品中甲醛的释放量不得超过一定的标准。

这一标准旨在保护消费者免受甲醛的危害，尤其是儿童和孕妇等易受伤害的群体。

为了确保产品符合标准，CPSC对相关产品进行了严格的抽检和监管，一旦发现超标产品将被召回或下架。

除了政府监管标准外，美国标准协会（ANSI）也制定了一系列
关于甲醛的标准。

这些标准涵盖了甲醛的检测方法、限量要求、产品标识等方面，旨在帮助企业和消费者更好地了解甲醛标准，并确保产品的质量和安全性。

总的来说，美国对甲醛的标准和监管非常严格，从政府部门到行业组织都制定了一系列的标准和规定，以保护公众健康。

企业和消费者应当严格遵守这些标准，选择符合要求的产品，减少甲醛对健康的潜在危害。

同时，政府和行业组织也应当加强监管力度，确保标准的执行和实施，为公众创造一个更加安全健康的生活环境。

美国甲醛标准美国甲醛标准是指美国环保局（EPA）对甲醛在室内空气和产品中的允许浓度所做出的规定。

甲醛是一种无色有刺激性气味的化学物质，常用于建筑材料、家具、家居用品等制造过程中。

然而，高浓度的甲醛对人体健康造成危害，因此制定了相关标准以保护公众健康。

在美国，室内空气中甲醛的标准是0.1ppm（每百万份气体中的部分），而对于家具和建筑材料中的甲醛释放量也有相应的规定。

这些标准的制定是基于大量科学研究和实验数据，旨在保护人们免受甲醛污染的危害。

甲醛是一种挥发性有机化合物，常常存在于新装修的房屋、新购买的家具和家居用品中。

长时间暴露在高浓度的甲醛环境中会引起眼睛、鼻子和喉咙的刺激，甚至引发头痛、呼吸困难和皮肤过敏等症状。

更严重的是，甲醛还被证实是一种致癌物质，长期接触高浓度甲醛环境会增加患白血病和其他癌症的风险。

为了保护公众健康，美国对甲醛的标准进行了严格的监管和控制。

建筑材料、家具和家居用品在生产过程中必须符合相关的甲醛释放标准，以保证其在使用过程中不会对人体健康造成危害。

同时，对于室内空气中甲醛浓度的监测也是必不可少的，一旦超过了规定的标准，必须采取相应的措施加以控制和治理。

除了在生产和使用过程中的监管外，个人在购买新家具和装修新房时也要注意甲醛的释放情况。

选择符合标准的环保材料和产品，尽量减少室内甲醛的来源，是保护自己和家人健康的重要举措。

总的来说，美国甲醛标准的制定和执行是为了保护公众健康，减少甲醛对人体健康的危害。

通过严格的监管和控制，可以有效降低室内甲醛浓度，为人们营造一个更加健康、舒适的生活环境。

希望未来能够进一步加强对甲醛的监管，为公众健康保驾护航。
