10.13 绿色清洁

English（英文原文）	中文（中文翻译）
Cleaning and disinfecting are necessary to maintain healthy IAQ in a building. However, cleaning and disinfecting also have the potential to introduce hazardous industrial chemicals. Typical products used for cleaning often contain toxic VOCs and other potentially hazardous substances.	清洁和消毒对于维持建筑的健康室内空气质量是必要的。然而，清洁和消毒也有可能引入有害的工业化学品。常用的清洁产品通常含有有毒VOCs和其他潜在有害物质。
These hazards pose particular risks to the people who clean or disinfect indoor spaces and thus are exposed to high concentrations of the substances over time. Other vulnerable populations include children, older adults, and people with pre-existing health conditions.	这些危害对清洁或消毒室内空间的人员构成特殊风险，他们长期暴露于高浓度的此类物质中。其他易感人群包括儿童、老年人以及患有既往健康问题的人群。
Populations most vulnerable to hazards from cleaners and disinfectants:	最容易受到清洁剂和消毒剂危害的人群：
• Cleaning personnel	• 清洁人员
• Children	• 儿童
• Older adults	• 老年人
• People with pre-existing health conditions	• 患有既往健康问题的人群
Unfortunately, building types where these populations tend to be (e.g., daycare centers, schools, nursing facilities, and hospitals) often use the harshest cleaning products and disinfectants.	不幸的是，这些人群经常出入的建筑类型（如日托中心、学校、养老机构和医院）通常使用最严苛的清洁产品和消毒剂。
Green Building Strategies	绿色建筑策略
Green building strategies reduce exposure to VOCs and other harmful chemicals during operations by implementing green cleaning, which encompasses cleaning processes and products that reduce environmental impact, limit people's exposure to toxic chemicals, and support healthier IAQ for all building occupants.	绿色建筑策略通过实施绿色清洁（green cleaning）来减少运营期间对VOCs和其他有害化学品的暴露。绿色清洁包括减少环境影响、限制人们接触有毒化学品、并为所有建筑使用者提供更健康室内空气质量的清洁流程和产品。
Green cleaning strategies that aim to reduce exposure to harsh chemicals include:	旨在减少接触严苛化学品的绿色清洁策略包括：
• Substituting safer cleaning products for typical products that may have more hazardous chemicals	• 用更安全的清洁产品替代可能含有更多有害化学品的常规产品
• Providing PPE to cleaning personnel if harsh chemicals must be used as a last resort	• 如果必须使用严苛化学品作为最后手段，为清洁人员提供个人防护装备
Quality of Life: Green cleaning strategies can also save water and energy and reduce waste — which saves money.	生活质量：绿色清洁策略还可以节约水和能源、减少废弃物——从而节省资金。
