Indoor Air Quality

We are dedicated to indoor air quality. Over the last several years, much attention has been focused on air pollution. Until recently, few scientists paid much attention to the quality of air within homes and other buildings, despite the fact that U.S. government research indicates that people spend approximately 90% of their time indoors. In many cases, the air within buildings can actually be more polluted than the air outside. Given the amount of time most people spend inside, the potential exists for a health-related disaster.
