Air Pollution

Air Pollution

On average, you take about 20,000 breaths per day!

The quality of the air we breathe is critical for our health. Exposure to hazardous air pollutants can lead to Cancer, Respiratory and Cardiac Disease.

Diesel emissions, Industrial Sources (such as power plants and manufacturing facilities) and Wood Smoke all contribute to poor outdoor air quality

We spend approximately 90% of our day indoors

Indoor air often has a higher level of pollutants than outdoor air.
