Facts About Indoor Air Pollution
What:
- Every day, the average American breathes in more than 3,000 gallons of air.
- Each American spends about 90% of their time indoors, which means we breath indoor air much more than outdoor air.
- The average quality of indoor air is 2-5 times as polluted as outdoor air.
- The EPA has listed indoor air quality as one of the top five
- environmental risks to public health.
- Without the proper attention, every home has at least one indoor air quality problem.
- 99% of airborne particles are smaller than 1 micron (1 millionth of a meter). They remain airborne and never settle because of how small they are.
- Around 40,000 dust mites can be found in every one ounce of dust in your air.
- Household cleaning agents, furniture, pesticides, and other common items contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can cause health problems.
- Air fresheners and candles introduce toxic poison into your indoor
- environment.
- Each year, about 4.2 million U.S. children and more than 12.4 million people total are affected by asthma, which can be worsened with poor indoor air quality
