Indoor Air Quality#
Indoor air quality is a major health concern, and it can often be worse than outdoor air. Poor indoor air quality has been tied to asthma attacks, headaches, fatigue, trouble concentrating, and irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Additionally, long-term exposure to indoor pollutants such as asbestos and radon can lead to lung cancer.
