Many everyday, unsuspecting household items contribute to poor indoor air quality. Compounds found in carpeting, furniture,
upholstery and drapery fabric constantly "offgas" or emit fumes. Other sources of pollutants can include, but are
not limited to, cleaning agents, paints and personal care products.
Newer, more energy-efficient homes do not "breathe" like older homes. Things like weather stripping and storm
doors keep indoor air in, and outdoor air out. This provides energy savings, but the limited exchange of outdoor and indoor
air can mean a build-up of contaminants inside your home.
