People react very differently when exposed to the same contaminant at similar concentrations.
Some individuals are more sensitive to contaminants due to allergies or other health concerns. Some people may develop a severe allergic reaction while others are not affected. The ventilation system also serves as a means of temperature and humidity control. Ventilation systems also aid in removing pollutants and odors from a room. Place office furniture and equipment with adequate air circulation in mind.
