According to studies by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor level of airborne pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally 100 times higher than outdoor levels. We spend about 60% of our time inside our homes where poor air quality is attributed to the cause or aggravation of half of all illnesses.
Air contaminants consist of particles with biological agents (e.g., bacteria, viruses, and mold), and gases or vapors traced to hundreds of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) found in solvents, cleaners, adhesives, and other common house hold chemicals, products and furnishings.
