It is estimated that people spend approximately 93% of their lives indoors.

Indoor air pollution is an enormous health and liability issue. As our knowledge of the cause and the preventive measures grow, so will the liabilities involved. An EPA publication has ranked radon and indoor air pollution as the most severe health risks in the U.S. But, radon is only one hazardous pollutant threatening the indoor environment; asbestos, mold spore and fungi, formaldehyde, pesticides, cigarette smoke, lead, and various fibers and compounds found within building materials must be considered.

Health complaints due to poor indoor air quality results in productivity losses ranking in the tens of billions of dollars per year. Unacceptable indoor air quality affects U.S. businesses through reduced worker productivity, increased employee absenteeism, increased insurance costs, increased operational costs, and increased liability and exposure to litigation.
