The Environmental Protection Agency reports that most people spend 90 percent of their time indoors, raising concerns regarding indoor air quality, interior environmental risk factors and their effect on general health. Indoor pollution caused by gases or toxic mold, particles in the air, inadequate ventilation, and increased concentrations of some pollutants due to high temperature and humidity levels have proven to be unsafe, causing serious health problems that may not be reversible.

Hazardous emissions causing indoor air pollution come from toxic mold, asbestos, outdoor pollution seeping in, combustion sources, building materials, household products and lack of proper ventilation.

Hazards can be found in varying forms:

• Biological Containments such as toxic mold and dust mites caused by moisture and lack of circulation.


• Radon Gases caused by breakdown in uranium in the surrounding soil or rock


• Combustion Gases caused by leaks from improperly installed and/or maintained heaters or stoves


• Household Products containing harmful chemicals


• Formaldehyde found in building products


• Pesticides distributed inside and outside of the building


• Asbestos caused by construction materials


• Lead releases caused by paint and other air pollutants
