Many homeowners today have worries about their indoor air quality (IAQ). They have good reasons to feel concerned: poor indoor air quality can make the air inside buildings more than 4 to 5 times more polluted than the air outside. Poor indoor air quality contributes to problems like headaches, nausea, insomnia, fatigue, asthma, and allergic reactions. Even worse, some IAQ issues have long-lasting and debilitating health effects.
