Indoor air pollution and its effects on our health isn't something that we think about every day, but it's become a huge contributor to both short-term health effects and chronic illnesses. According to the EPA, American’s spend approximately 90% of their time indoors where concentrations of pollutants are often 2-5x’s higher than typical outdoor air concentrations.
