Why is Indoor Air Quality Important

Pollutants in our indoor environment can increase the risk of illness. Several studies by EPA, states, and independent scientific panels have consistently ranked indoor air pollution as an important environmental health problem. While most buildings do not have severe indoor air quality problems, even well-run buildings can sometimes experience episodes of poor indoor air quality.

Many studies improved indoor air quality can result in higher productivity and fewer lost work days. Poor indoor air may cost the nation tens of billions of dollars each year in lost productivity and medical care.
