The air in your home (or business) may be more polluted than outdoor air!
Why? Biological Pollutants.
Biological pollutants are (or were) living organisms. They travel through the air and are often invisible. They promote poor indoor air quality and can damage surfaces.
Two conditions are essential to support biological growth: nutrients and moisture.
These conditions can be found in bathrooms, damp basements, wet appliances (such as humidifiers or air conditioners), and even carpets and furniture.

Animal Dander (minute scales from hair, feathers, or skin)
Dust Mite and Cockroach parts
Infectious agents (bacteria or viruses)
Pollen
