Among other safety considerations, indoor air quality for cannabis-related businesses is a key concern for business owners and landlords, who must protect themselves from liability while offering safe, acceptable conditions for tenants, employees, and customers.
No longer confined to backyard operations or shady rental houses, most commercial cannabis production and processing takes place in high-tech, indoor facilities where temperature, light, and humidity can be controlled for ideal growing conditions that ensure high quality and yield.
The warm, damp environment in which cannabis grows can also play host to mold, mildew, bacteria, and viruses that can harm workers as well as crops.
The distinctive and pervasive odor from cannabis can trigger complaints from neighboring businesses and may violate local odor ordinances, as well as put others at risk.
