Breathing quality indoor air is critical for good health. Most people spend a significant amount of time indoors– either in the home, office or other types of buildings–where gas, chemical and other pollutants can cause headaches, eye irritation, allergies and fatigue. Serious pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can cause certain types of cancers and other long-term health complications.

Clean air can prevent many environmental health hazards such as asthma and the epidemic and pandemic spread of various kinds of flu. Indoor air quality is a critical public health issue that continues to be addressed at the government level.
