Over the last 30 years, mortality rate from asthma have
more than doubled, especially among the very old and the
young. The increase can be directly attributed to indoor
air quality, especially with today's "tight" or
energy efficient homes.
Concern about indoor exposure to molds,
allergens and other respiratory irritants has been
increasing. The public has become more aware that exposure
to these airborne particles and chemicals may cause a
variety of health effects and symptoms, including allergic
reactions, asthma, fatigue, respiratory congestion and
cough, runny nose, eye irritation and cough.
