Outdoor air is continually being cleansed by Mother Nature using the natural processes of weather, rain, wind, lightning, and ultraviolet energy from the sun.  Mother Nature's method of cleaning outdoor air are not naturally present in our indoor air    environment.  Man-made synthetic building materials, furnishings and household cleaning products have created a virtual chemical soup in our home with no natural method of control.

One of the main reasons for heightened public concern about deteriorating indoor air quality is the alarming increase in the number of children and young adults with severe allergies and asthma.  According to the National Center for Health Statistics, 2001 National Health Interview Study, over 7.6 million children (5-17 years) and over 12.7 million young adults (18-44 years) suffer from asthma.  The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental dangers to the public.  EPA research also concluded that indoor air can be two to five times (and sometimes as much as 100 times!) more polluted than the WORST outside air!  Since research indicates Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, it's no wonder that asthma and allergy suffering is on the rise.
