Indoor Air Quality

Unless you live in a big city or heavy industrial area, or you're an asthma or allergy sufferer, you probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about the air you breathe. Especially the air inside your home! But maybe you should.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tells us that your risk of exposure to pollutants can be over 100 times greater indoors than outside. What's more, some experts estimate that as much as 50% of all illnesses are either created or aggravated by poor indoor air quality.

And here are some of the consequences: Asthma sufferers make over 200,000 trips to the Emergency Room each year from incidents that directly result from exposure to dust mites, animal dander, cat saliva, mold and other airborne catalysts. Worse, radon, a known cancer-causing gas emitted from the soil, is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States. Additional problems like headaches, nausea, lethargy, and other serious illnesses can be traced to indoor pollution in America's homes and public places.

The fact is, if you're experiencing common discomforts like headaches, itchy eyes, a runny nose or a persistent cough, sure, you might just have a cold. But you might also be a victim of indoor air pollution.
