Indoor Air Quality Quiz
Do You Have Indoor Air Quality Products in Your Home?
As we stated on our indoor air quality informational page, people spend, on average, 90 percent of their time indoors but don't know that indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outside air. The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has indoor air quality ranked as one of the top five environmental dangers to public health. It is linked to severe asthma and allergy development in children and to heart problems and lung cancer in children and adults.
Our team at Vailes knows how beneficial it is to have indoor air quality products in the home. View a few of our favorite options that can be installed in your home below:
