INDOOR AIR QUALITY FACTSNATIONAL AGENCIES & NEWS FACT: 50% of
all illnesses are caused or aggravated by indoor air (American College of
Allergists) FACT: The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), during September 1990 declared, “indoor air pollution
as one of the four environmental threats facing the country.” FACT: Now the U.S. House
of Representatives and the Environmental Protection Agency both name indoor air
pollution as the #1 health problem in America.
Up to 90% of our time is spent indoors breathing potential contaminants
such as: Smoke, Mold & Mildew, Pollens, Viruses (germs), Animal Odors, Dust
and Static Electricity. FACT: Children are more
likely than adults to be affected by pollution indoor air because they breath
faster, inhale more air per unit of body weight and are closer to the ground
where concentrations are higher (Department of Consumer Affairs). FACT: Most commercially
purchased fiberglass filters are only 7% efficient in stopping dirt, dust,
pollen, etc. from passing through them. (American
Society of Heating Refrigeration, and Air Conditioning Experts-ASHRAE). FACT: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), during 1989, found that “health threatening volatile organic compounds can be found in concentrations 100 times higher in enclosed spaces than outdoors. Even if a building is next to a major outdoor polluting source, the levels of pollution inside the building will be two to five times higher indoors than outdoors FACT: The Boston Globe,
May 14, 1989 quotes an official of the Harvard School of Public Health; “of
course, indoor pollution is the largest public health problem we have, some
people say it’s responsible for as high as 60 to 70 percent of all
illnesses.” “The real solution to indoor air pollution is getting rid of the
sources.” HOW CLEAN IS THE AIR YOU BREATHE? Call: Richard Fix 1-888-218-1146 Email: info@TheEscapeSystem.com
