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
building is immune to indoor air quality problems - homes are filled with prime
sources of airborne allergens and contaminants
-
The
American College of Allergists says that 50% of all illness is either caused by
or aggravated by indoor air contaminants
