About this ebook

Indoor Air Suffers brings awareness to the often-ignored issue of indoor air quality, specifically how common household detergents contribute to air pollution inside our homes. As homes become more energy-efficient and tightly sealed, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products can accumulate, potentially leading to respiratory irritation and other health problems.

The book uniquely connects consumer product use with environmental and personal health, emphasizing that public health is directly impacted by the air we breathe indoors. The book reveals that many detergents release VOCs, some of which have known links to health complications.

It presents findings from air quality tests conducted in real homes, quantifying the types and amounts of VOCs released after using different detergents. Indoor Air Suffers begins by exploring the evolution of cleaning product formulations and basic air quality principles, then progresses to present testing results and, finally, practical strategies for mitigating risks, such as improved ventilation and alternative cleaning methods.
