Indoor Air Quality and Indoor Environmental Quality Requests
DOHS provides indoor air quality surveys and indoor environmental evaluations with the
Office of Research Facilities Development and Operations (ORFDO.) If you have an indoor environmental concern, contact ORFDO or submit an
issue escalation request.
Indoor environmental concerns are referred to the Building Engineer and Facility Manager since most concerns can be resolved through the use of simple environmental controls and adjustments. We provide indoor air quality surveys when the issue cannot be resolved. We also conduct surveys at the request of Occupational Medical Service (OMS) healthcare professionals with specific medical guidance.
Odor Complaints
If you work on the NIH Main Campus and have an odor complaint, please report it immediately to the
NIH Department of Fire and Rescue by dialing 9-1-1 ( or from a mobile phone: 301-496-9911) and they will respond appropriately.
