"The potential economic impact of indoor air pollution is quite high and is estimated in the tens of billions of dollars per year. Such impacts includes direct medical costs and lost earnings due to major illness as well as increased employee sick days and lost productivity." The health consequences of biological contamination range from uncomfortable odors to end-stage lung disease to fatality. What factors predispose to biologic contamination? Which contaminants cause adverse health effects? What illnesses are associated with which contaminants, and how do these occur? This discussion will help answer these questions, leaving the discussion of environmental sampling, interpretation of sampling results, and remediation to other speakers who presented this information. A few interesting ideas for consideration regarding the implications of biological contamination will also be presented.
室内空气污染的潜在经济影响相当大，估计每年达数百亿美元。此类影响包括直接医疗费用、因重病导致的收入损失，以及员工病假增加和生产力下降。生物污染对健康的影响范围从难闻的气味到晚期肺病直至死亡。哪些因素易引发生物污染？哪些污染物会对健康产生不利影响？哪些疾病与哪些污染物相关，以及这些情况是如何发生的？本次讨论将有助于回答这些问题，而环境采样、采样结果解读和补救措施的讨论则留给其他介绍此信息的发言人。还将提出一些关于生物污染影响的有趣观点供大家思考。
