| Importance of Indoor Air Quality |
|
| |
|
| In the last several years, a growing body of scientific evidence has indicated that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities. Other research indicates that people spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors. Thus, for many people, the risks to health may be greater due to exposure to air pollution indoors than outdoors. |

| The ever-increasing cases of sick building syndrome are due to the way buildings are constructed to conserve energy. Stop air movement in and out of the structure and you reduce the energy required to heat and cool the building. After it is sealed, central cooling and heating systems maintain liveable temperatures and humidity levels by re-circulation of the same air and pollutants day after day. Dust, bacteria, viruses, mold, fungus, mildew and gases circulate through the building. The dust can come from skin, hair, clothes or just come off shoes when we walk in and out. The mildew, fungus and molds can come in along with the dust or we can grow our own in the HVAC system. The gases are volatile organic compounds that are given off by dyes, paints, varnishes and adhesives used in modern building materials. |
