There is a lot of emphasis on health these days; people are paying attention to the foods they eat, they know that exercising regularly is important, and there’s quite a bit of attention to the importance of certain vitamins and supplements. Indoor Air Quality (often abbreviated as IAQ) is also an important factor for health, though it does not get the media attention of some of the other components for healthy living.

Healthy Indoor Air is something to pay attention to throughout your home and workplace. Common issues include:

• Stale or Stuffy Attic Air
• A Damp and Musty Basement / Cellar
• Moist Bathroom Air
• Bedrooms – healthy indoor air quality is important in rooms we spend at least 8 hours a day breathing in.
• Closet - usually has no air circulation.
• Crawl Space – a very common area for moisture problems to develop.
• Laundry Room / Utility Room – excess moisture, heat and humidity all impact the healthiness of what you’re breathing.
• Living Room / Family Room – whichever room has the biggest TV is probably where your family spends most of its time.
