Data about interior air quality

• According to the American College of Allergy, 50% of diseases cases worsen or caused by interior air pollution.
• The Environment Protection Agency (EPA) specifies that interior air is 2 to 10 times more dangerous than exterior air.
• The EPA draws our attention to the fact that, in the States, interior air is the first source of health problems.
• Today, houses are built in hermetic way and contain a huge number of pollutant elements. Therefore, purifying agents such as ozone and negative ions exist outside, while contaminating elements remain inside.
• Recently a study has shown that elements causing allergy have been 200% higher inside isolated houses than inside standard buildings.
• According to America Scientific, a baby crawling on floor inhales the equivalent of 4 cigarettes per day, arising from fitted carpet emissions, mould, rust, fungus, dust, etc.
• The majority of people spend easily 90% of their time at home. Therefore, interior air affects our health more than exterior air.
• The EPA claims that 6 houses from 10 are somehow “diseased”, which is not safe for our health, because of generated pollutants.
