Demystify:
Dave - can your colleague be more specific?Are they looking for air quality from the chemical use perspective (answer- below PELs) or temperature, humidity etc (answer - ASHRAE IAQ for general)

CHAS folks,
To get the best set of answers, I am forwardingbelow a request for information I recently received from a colleague.
"Do you know if there are generally acceptedair quality standards for chemistry buildings, and if there are where wouldI find them? Also, do you know where I could find information about generally acceptedpractices with regards to testing air quality, especially in academic buildingssuch as ours?
I'm asking these questions in part due to a lack of knowledge, and in partbased on some concerns about air quality in our chemistry building followingsome work on our air handling related to energy conservation."
