Recent statistics indicate that we now spend up to 90 percent of our time indoors.Accordingly, our health is affected by the quality of indoor air in our housing. People affected by indoor air contamination can be broken down into three categories; 1) those who are minimally affected, 2) those who suffer from allergies or respiratory ailments due to indoor air quality, and 3) those who are hypersensitive and react adversely to extremely low levels of contaminant exposure. Indoor air quality is affected by a host of agents ranging from moulds and mildews found in damp areas of the house to chemical vapours emanating from modern building materials.
