SUBJECT: Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Assessment
FISH 318, 320B and Portable 126
On September 12, 2006 I conducted an assessment of FISH 318, 320B and Portable 126 at Coral
Springs High School. This evaluation included observations of the flooring system, ceiling tiles, false
ceiling plenum, environmental surfaces, interior and exterior walls, and the accessible ventilation
equipment. The detailed findings, along with the recommended corrective action can be found on the
attached IAQ Assessment Worksheets.
The IAQ assessment did identify one or more existing conditions impacting IAQ and has generated
appropriate work orders to correct deficiencies in systems and maintenance that could contribute to
decreased indoor air quality. At the time of the assessment, these concerns were not an immediate
health or safety concern to building occupants. However, due to individual sensitivities and
predisposing health factors, it is possible that some building occupants may elicit a health response to
agents and / or conditions identified during the evaluation. Therefore, to further improve IAQ,
prevent development of future IAQ-related problems, and to reduce the potential for IAQ-related
complaints by building occupants, the IAQ Assessment Team recommends appropriate follow up of
each item identified and listed in the attached evaluation.
Should any questions arise, or if the current concerns continue after the attached recommendations
have been addressed, please feel free to contact me at 754-321-3200.
