Concerns about Indoor Air Quality
While heavily insulating a home is a good way to conserve energy it also increases concerns regarding the quality of the air that you are breathing indoors. Minimizing the introduction of outside air into your home contributes to the buildup of indoor air contaminants.
There are Many Sources of Indoor Air Pollution in Any Home
These include combustion sources such as oil, gas, kerosene, coal, wood, and tobacco products; building materials such as asbestos-containing insulation, and wet carpets.
