Indoor Air Quality
Environmental & Conservation Services’ (ECS) Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) program is an integral component
of the department’s mission to provide healthy, sustainable, learning and working environments for all
students, staff and visitors to District facilities.
The IAQ program provides services directly to school centers through IAQ assessments and environmental
remediation projects related to hazards such as water damage, mold, odors, infectious disease, fire, flood
response, and natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, heavy inundations, and/or localized flooding.
