Air quality determines the amount of oxygen available to our bodies from our breathing.
Not only our lungs and hearts, but also our muscles and digestive track depend on oxygen to do their work and keep us at optimal health. The importance of the air inside our homes and offices, where most of us spend most of our time, is a key factor in the overall health of environment. Modern construction techniques, in an effort to conserve energy, seal up our living spaces with air tight windows, heavily insulated walls and ceilings, and interlocking gaskets around doors and sliding windows. While these advances work beautifully to keep in heat and keep out winter's cold, they also keep contaminated, stale air inside. First and most obviously, do not allow smoking inside your home.
