Since about 1980, asthma prevalence and asthma-related
hospitalizations and deaths have increased alarmingly.
Recent studies have suggested that indoor exposure to
dust mites, cockroaches, mold, pet dander, tobacco
smoke, and other biological and chemical pollutants, are
influencing the course and severity of asthma, and/or
allergic reactions.
We are concerned about the health risks to you and others within your building or indoor environment due to poor indoor air quality, exposure to contaminants, or exposure to various molds. There is a correlation between the pervasiveness of indoor air pollution and human exposure to indoor pollutants and contaminated air with increasing rates of asthma incidences. Below you will find more information about asthma as it relates to poor indoor air quality.

The current situation in schools is not better, as
asthma and allergy rates climb increasingly higher. For
instance, State officials in Massachuesetts, found the
prevalence of asthma within their school districts,
averaged 9.2%, which was a cause for alarm among public
health advocates. Among the potential causes cited were: poor
indoor air quality, (IAQ), mold, dust mites, and
other enviromental pollutants as
mentioned above.
