Benefits of Healthy Indoor Air

Indoor air needs to be a part of your wellness routine

The average person takes around 20,000 breaths per day, approximately 7,300,000 breaths per year, or 547,500,000 breaths in their life. Ninety percent of those lifetime breaths are taken in an indoor space like your office or home.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside our homes is2 to 5 times more pollutedthan the air outside. If you do not have the proper indoor air equipment, you are the first and only line of defense against these pollutants.
