Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality Testing

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranks poor indoor air quality among the top five environmental risks to public health. According to the EPA, we spend up to 90% of our time indoors where the levels of air pollution can be two, five, and up to 100 times higher than outdoor levels. Studies now prove that the air quality in your home, office, or workplace has a direct effect on your overall health and well-being.

The American College of Allergies confirms that 50% of all illnesses are either caused by, or aggravated by polluted indoor air. Airborne pollutants such as chemicals, gases, molds, viruses, and particles are found in every home and office-no matter how clean the environment. The health effects of breathing polluted indoor air can contribute to short and long-term health problems.
