The EPA lists poor indoor air quality as the fourth largest environmental threat to our country. There are an estimated 40 million individuals in the United States who are affected by allergies . Controlling a home's environment to reduce allergen levels is critical for managing allergies and asthma. Asthma sufferers, or those who have respiratory illness, may potentially be at a greater risk for health complications associated with poor air quality in their homes. In the house, poor indoor air quality can result in structural rot within the walls and attic and around window framing from excess moisture.
Common pollutants can enter our houses through air leaks in the structure.
