Did you know that the air in your home could be more polluted than the air outdoors?

Studies have shown that indoor air pollution can have even more adverse effects than outdoor air in industralised countries. This means that if the air quality in our homes and offices is not maintained at an acceptable level, it may trigger health problems, especially respiratory illnesses, such as asthma. With people spending about 90% of our time indoors, it is important to reduce this silent health risk induced by poor air quality.

Improving indoor air quality is an ideal and drug-free alternative to minimising the health effects of environmental pollution. This website was set up to provide information on indoor air quality, its effect on health and ways to maintain a healthy home. A comprehensive assessment tool is also available for you to appraise the air quality in your home and gather recommendations for improvement. We hope you will find the information provided useful in helping you and your family live healthier lives.
