Recommendations of future standardization efforts comprises standards for exposure test protocols, new and advanced sampling and analysis methods, emerging contaminant measurements, indoor air modeling, and updates of ASHRAE standards. Other standards discussed include US Environmental Protection Agency methods, International Organization for Standardization standards, and others. The IAQ acceptable limits and ventilation requirements are out of the scope of this chapter. Primary focuses of this chapter are ASTM methods for indoor air sampling and analysis, emission and material testing, IAQ evaluation and exposure assessment, and the ventilation calculation methods and procedures in ASHRAE Standards 62.1 and 62.2. ASTM methods help source control of indoor air pollutants for IAQ, whereas ASHRAE standards address the control and assessment of IAQ and ventilation of commercial and residential buildings for IAQ management. This chapter elaborates on consensus test standards that are widely used in the USA to assess IAQ-related issues, specifically highlighting the standards from ASTM International and Standard 62.1 and 62.2 of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). Utilizing harmonized consensus test standards is essential to characterize indoor pollutants and investigate indoor environmental conditions for assessing and improving IAQ and reducing occupants’ risk of exposure and adverse health effects. With the rapid development of high technology and indoor health problems in the modern world, indoor air quality (IAQ) becomes a matter of great concern to building occupants, building industry, manufacturers, national, state, and local government agencies, and other relevant entities.
