Sustainable Window Replacement: Indoor Air Quality & Related Health Hazards

According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. Understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors can help reduce the risk of indoor health concerns.
We open our windows whenever we want fresh air to to circulate throughout our homes. While it is a good way to ventilate the inside air, it is never certain that the air inside is safe to breathe. The quality of air indoors is compromised due to a number of outliers, from structural risks and substandard building materials, to lack of ventilation. One common cause of this is the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from paint on walls and ceiling, furniture, carpets, detergents, smoke and other indoor materials. VOCs are a health hazard, putting people at risk of poisoning, asthma and cancer.
