Indoor air quality is 2-5 times worse than outdoors and it is a top 5 environmental risk to public health according to the EPA. We spend 90% of our time indoors, and breathe 11,000 liters of air each day, but while we are aware of what goes in our food and filter our water, what we breathe goes largely unoticed. HomeLab is out to raise public awareness of indoor pollution, offer easy no/low cost air quality testing for homeowners, and make it simple to clean up your air.

A study was recently published showing a strong relationship between indoor and outdoor particulates when opening the windows to add ventilation, confirming that we let pollution in. It also reiterates that a "leaky" building can bring in particulates as well.

Our thoughts exactly Dr. Allen. Let's change that.
