Indoor Air Quality FAQs
Is indoor air quality important?
You should be aware of your home’s indoor air quality. Many studies have shown indoor air quality is often worse than outdoor pollution. Homes are designed to be air-tight. On the one hand, this is great because it means heating and cooling our houses is much easier. On the other hand, though, pollutants have nowhere to go. They can easily end up being recirculated in our homes.
More pollutants in your home mean a greater possibility of allergy and asthma problems. It is important to do what you can to keep your indoor air quality as good as possible. Your health will thank you for it.
