Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their
health but many do not know that indoor air pollution can also have
significant health effects. Environmental Protection Agency studies
of human exposure to air pollutants indicate that indoor levels
of pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasionally more than 100 times,
higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants
may be of particular concern because most people spend about 90%
of their time indoors. The following links will help you to learn more about indoor air quality and how
it can effect your home or business.
