Think about how much time you and your family spend inside versus outside. From your home to the car to work and school, it’s not uncommon that the majority of your day is spent in- doors. This modern phenomenon means increased exposure to indoor air pollution. Fortunately, with a few smart, proactive steps, you can help protect yourself and your family.
People vastly underestimate the time they spend inside, assuming just four hours, when in actuality they are inside more than 21 hours each day, according to The Indoor Generation report by The VELUX Group. The Indoor Generation re- fers to a growing number of people who spend the vast majority of their
time indoors — currently 90% of their days on average, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
In addition to people spending more time inside, homes are being
built and sealed tightly to meet the demand for increased energy effi- ciency. This is great for energy ef- ficiency but not so great for fresh air exchange, which is necessary to maintain healthy indoor air quality.
