What are indoor air quality regulations in manufacturing?

Indoor air quality regulations in manufacturing are standards and guidelines designed to limit worker exposure to airborne contaminants such as dust, fumes, smoke, oil mist and chemical aerosols. Unlike office environments, industrial IAQ focuses on contaminants generated during production processes that may affect worker health, safety and regulatory compliance. OSHA is the primary regulatory authority in the U.S., though organizations such as NIOSH and ACGIH also provide important guidance.
