So
what is the problem with our indoor air?

The
EPA in America says most indoor air has 2 - 10 times higher concentrations of
harmful pollutants than outdoor air. Some organisations have reported inside
pollution levels up to 100 times that found outside.

The
air indoors is the No. 1 environmental health risk

No
