Air Quality in Your Home
National studies have shown that air pollution in our homes can be more of a health concern than air pollution outside. Indoor pollutant levels may, in fact, be many times higher than outdoor levels. There are three main reasons why indoor air quality is becoming more of a health concern:
-
It is estimated that Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors.
-
More harmful chemicals are used in building materials, furnishings, pesticides, and household cleaning and personal care products.
-
Homes and other buildings may not be properly ventilated.
