AIR

In order to increase energy efficiency, modern buildings are constructed to be increasingly air-tight. However, the EPA has found that air from indoor industrial spaces can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air. When one considers that people will spend an average of 90% of their time indoors, it's vital to improve the quality of the air everyone is breathing... The Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) of a building can have potentially harmful, implications for occupants that live, work, or study there every day. IAQ is a measurement of the amount of undesirable substances in the air that can have adverse health effects such as Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), carbon monoxide, natural gas, mold, and bacteria... Health and Wellness Effects: Acute allergies, headaches, coughs, asthma, skin irritations, and breathing difficulties, as well as chronic illnesses such as cancer, liver disease, kidney damage, and nervous-system failure.
