Air as nature intended
Increasingly, researchers are establishing the correlation between indoor air
quality and the productivity of workers, as well as the overall health of individuals.
According to the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Americans spend about
90 percent of their time indoors. However, the EPA now places poor indoor air
quality fourth on a list of the 31 largest environmental threats in the US.
It’s estimated that nearly 25 percent of US residents are adversely
affected by poor indoor air quality, either at the workplace or at home. Indoor
air pollutants can be as diverse as toxic chemicals emitted from building materials
and furnishings, combustion pollutants like carbon monoxide and toxic particles,
and biological contaminants such as moulds and bacteria.
NEDLAW active Living Walls systems use the natural strength of nature’s
purification processes. They address indoor-air quality problems and significantly
improve the performance of HVAC systems.
