Providing Quality of Life Through Indoor
Environmental Awareness |

Most of
us are aware of outdoor air pollution and the effects upon health and
economics. Individuals should also be aware of poor indoor air quality and
the impacts upon health and the basic quality of life that everyone strives
to achieve. Most individuals spend the bulk of their time indoors at home,
school, work, or through other common, daily, activities. Being aware of
indoor air quality facts and information allows the consumer to maintain a
proactive approach to both their individual health, as well as, the health
and safety of others. Obtaining healthy indoor environments consists of
knowledge of many factors that contribute to the overall effect upon the
individual or group. There is no one indoor air quality test and laboratory
analysis that can reveal the full scope of possible pollutant sources. The
scientists and professional indoor air quality consultants at
Indoor Environment
Check are available to assist the consumer in determining the
most appropriate course of action necessary for determining their indoor air
quality needs. IEC specializes in pollutant identification and source
control solutions. |

There are numerous sources of pollutants indoors
effecting
individuals on a daily basis. In
general, people spend most of
their time indoors.
"Health effects from indoor air
pollutants may be experienced
soon after exposure, or
possibly, years later." |
Scientific information indicates
that indoor air
pollution can
pose
substantial health
risks in many indoor
environments.
|
A study by the EPA, covering six
communities in various parts of the US, found indoor levels of VOCs
(Formaldehyde, Pesticides, Solvents, Cleaning Agents)
up to ten times higher than those outdoors - even in locations with
significant outdoor air pollution
sources, such as
petrochemical
plants.
