There are many factors that affect indoor air quality. Our primary focus is on the
contaminants in water-damaged buildings. These contaminants include molds,
mycotoxins, volatile organic compounds, microbial particulates, proteins,
galactomannans, endotoxins and bacteria. These water-damage events can occur in
connection with floods, hurricanes, construction defects, roof leaks, foundation
problems, plumbing leaks, appliance leaks, condensation, or as a result of buildings
materials that can become wet during storage, transportation and construction. Some
of the additional factors that affect indoor air quality include radon, lead, asbestos,
pesticides, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, cleaning products, off-gassing from
carpets, furniture and paint, air fresheners, fragrances, and a wide variety of other
toxins and chemicals.
Indoor air pollutants cause 50% of illnesses globally. Poor indoor air quality affects
people from all walks of life. Affected persons include both genders, all ages, those
unborn and soon-to-be-born, homemakers, stay-at-home moms, teachers and school
children, veterans, retirees, disabled individuals, workers of all levels and skills,
farmers, professionals, owners of businesses large and small, and all degrees of
affluence. In short, anyone who spends time indoors is at risk.
