Is Indoor Air Quality Important?
Indoor air quality (IAQ) stands as a significant public health concern and often goes unnoticed, overshadowed by concerns about outdoor air quality. However, the air within our homes and buildings can harbor various pollutants that impact our health. Contaminants such as smoke, vapors, mold, and chemicals present in paints, furnishings, and cleaning agents can all degrade indoor air quality.
Considering that the average American spends approximately 90% of their time indoors, indoor air quality is paramount. This encompasses various settings, including homes, schools, workplaces, religious institutions, and fitness centers, highlighting indoor environments' pervasive influence on our overall well-being.
Researchers in environmental health delve into the intricate relationship between indoor air quality and human health.
Exposure to indoor air pollutants, both in the short and long term, can lead to an array of health complications, encompassing respiratory ailments, cardiovascular diseases, cognitive impairments, and even cancer.
