Between work (school) and home we spend up to 90% of our lives indoors, and as such, we are breathing in air that can be 2-5 times more contaminated than outdoor air.
These indoor air contaminants can transmit upper respiratory illnesses, trigger asthma attacks, and create physical issues such as headaches, nausea, high blood pressure, and more.
What are these contaminants that can cause such issues?
The EPA has identified 3 areas of contaminants: Biological (viruses & bacteria, mold & fungi), Microparticles (pollen, dust, and allergens) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs from cleaning chemicals, paints, aromatic hydrocarbons, and industrial chemicals).
