A new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends public health officials and other local and regional agencies take action to mitigate exposure to fine particulate matter indoors.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a term that refers to the air quality in your building, breathed in every day by the building’s occupants. The pollution levels in this indoor air can be up to 5 times higher than outdoor levels (in many cases up to 100 times higher), and people spend more than 90% of their time indoors.

Air filtration is a major component of sustainable design, which is both cost-efficient and resource-saving. 78% of Americans agree that corporations have a responsibility to adopt green standards like clean air.

Nearly the entire U.S. is threatened by wildfires, directly or indirectly. As scary as it is to be in the path of a raging fire, smoke plumes release gases and particulates that carry hundreds and even thousands of miles on the wind.
