Air pollution isn’t limited to towns and cities, it is also becoming a bigger problem inside homes and offices.
Newer office buildings can be particularly susceptible to indoor air pollution because the improved build quality means less gaps in the building and pollutants can build up inside. Improved office insulation can also trap airborne pollutants inside the office. The pollutants can build-up over time and affect the health and well-being of everyone working inside.
Good air quality air ventilation in the office can be overlooked as other business issues take priority.
