BESA calls for greater focus on indoor air quality

The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) says there should be more emphasis placed on the quality of air inside buildings ahead of this year’s national Clean Air Day on Thursday (October 8th).
 
The Association is supporting the event and will be using its social media platforms to promote the #cleanairday messages. However, it believes that clean air campaigns and events continue to be focused almost exclusively on outdoor pollution and that this should change in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic. The crisis has raised awareness of the role of indoor air quality (IAQ) in protecting the health and wellbeing of building occupants, the Association said.
