Create a Healthy Indoor Environment

According to the EPA, Americans spend 90 percent of their time indoors, where some pollutants are 2 to 5 times higher than outdoor levels. That's why you may have heard about emissions testing. The goal behind emissions testing is to limit the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released into indoor environments. VOCs include a variety of chemicals, some of which may have short- and long-term adverse health effects. Concentrations of many VOCs are consistently higher indoors than outdoors. That's why purchasing furniture and other low VOC emitting interior products is important.
