Zimmetry Environmental Educates the Public about Common Causes of Indoor Air Quality Issues

Nov. 11, 2013 - PRLog -- Even with the beautiful weather that is so common across Puerto Rico and the Caribbean, most people spend the majority of their time indoors.  Whether at home, school or in the office, many people spend up to 90% of their time indoors.

Spending so much time indoors means that the air people breathe is a key component of a healthy life.  Unfortunately, many buildings have problems with their indoor air.  In many structures, there a number of potential pollutants that can cause health concerns or even result in various illnesses for building occupants.

Zimmetry Environmental, the Caribbean’s leading indoor air quality consulting experts, has been providing IAQ testing and consulting services for over a decade.  “There are countless materials, situations and scenarios that can lead to air quality problems in a building,” reports Harry Pena, President of Zimmetry Environmental.  “In many circumstances, indoor pollutants can be categorized into several common groups.  In our ongoing efforts to educate people across Puerto Rico and the surrounding area, Zimmetry recently sponsored an educational video about common indoor air quality pollutants.  When people know what to look for, the end result means better air quality for them and their families.”

The new video discusses mold, bacteria, allergens, radon, formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), asbestos and lead-based paints.  To view the video, please visit: http://youtu.be/MM14B6dzYYg
