Indoor air quality (IAQ) is increasingly important in occupational health, especially in office settings where workers may spend time attending to their indoor environment. Chemical agents like particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) and carbon dioxide (CO₂), respectively, have been related to health symptoms and decreased work performance. In Malaysia, poor natural ventilation, wide spread use of air-conditioning and occupancy of building has contributed to increase indoor pollutant concentration. This research was aimed at measuring selected chemical IAQ parameters in a corporate building in Cyberjaya and to consider any possible implications of such exposures on worker's health.
