District to Launch Indoor Air Quality Program

The Alamo Colleges’ Safety Office, along with the Facilities Department, is implementing a routine, proactive Indoor Air Quality program starting September 21.

The program will be launched at Palo Alto College and will consist of standard air sampling in all buildings, including HVAC duct cleaning. Similar programs will later be launched at the other four colleges and district offices during the following months. This is the baseline year for our continuous program of air quality testing that will be continued thereafter.

Alamo Colleges’ Safety Officer Roy Brown has retained the services of AEHS Inc., a certified Environmental, Health, and Safety Consulting Firm, which will conduct air sampling and provide written reports. The project at Palo Alto College will begin September 21 and will be completed on October 16. The results will be posted online.

Questions can be directed to Roy Brown at (210) 254-0895.
