What is the benefit of periodic reassessment of air quality?

Periodic reassessment of air quality is crucial because it plays a vital role in identifying emerging pollutants or issues that may affect the health and safety of the indoor environment. Over time, the types of contaminants present in the air can change due to various factors such as changes in building occupancy, new building materials, or alterations in use of space. By regularly reassessing air quality, stakeholders can be alerted to new or increased levels of harmful substances, allowing for timely interventions before they pose significant health risks to occupants.

In addition, this process helps to track the effectiveness of existing air quality management strategies and can inform necessary adjustments to improve overall air quality. Regular monitoring ensures that potential problems are caught early, protecting the well-being of everyone within the space while also ensuring compliance with health and safety standards.
