This is an issue that concerns us all. The first step is awareness of the risks. Fortunately, prevention is easy and economical. Your home or your office can have clean air for healthy living right now. Recent research suggests that we may have been looking in the wrong place.
Environmental scientists claim that the real risks to our health are much closer to home.
It is indoor air quality that has the greater impact. Not surprisingly, many of these risks have accompanied the technical advances in our lives. Improved building techniques and concern for energy efficiency have created airtight housing. These buildings retain and re-circulate indoor air along with any contaminants. At the same time, many common materials in the home contain chemicals that are now implicated in conditions ranging from chronic respiratory irritation to cancer.
