INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Most Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors. Indoor air often contains higher concentrations of hazardous pollutants than outdoor air. One out of three homes has someone who suffers from allergies or asthma, and research indicates that indoor pollutants can trigger asthma attacks or allergic reactions.
In addition to allergy and asthma problems, exposure to indoor air pollutants may also cause fatigue, headaches, nausea, scratchy throat, and nasal irritation. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency has determined that 50% of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air.
