Improving indoor air quality can decrease your health risks. Since the vast majority of people spend up to 90% of their day inside, better indoor air quality can only be a benefit. The individuals at the most risk are those exposed the longest to indoor air pollutants such as the chronically ill, the young and the elderly.
Pollutants found indoors may not pose a short-term risk to individuals, but over time the risk can increase. Typically, there is more than one indoor air pollutant found such as smoking and cooking. There are simple steps a homeowner or business can take to improve the quality of their indoor air. The EPA has commissioned a valuable booklet to help reduce indoor air pollutants. Lower the pollutant levels inside your home or office and reap the benefits for years to come.
