In independent tests, foam insulation significantly improved indoor air quality.

The EPA recently rated indoor air pollution as one of the five most urgent environmental issues, accounting for over $1 billion in direct health care costs each year.

The poor quality of indoor air is being blamed on a lack of proper ventilation and the building materials often used in homes, schools and offices. As a result, a new generation of healthy building materials is being developed to help reduce the pollutants released into indoor air. Spray foam is a leading material also in this respect.

Of all the building materials used in a newly constructed building, insulation can have a major, long-term impact on the quality of the indoor air you and your family breathe. And with 40% of North American households having at least one family member who suffers from allergies or asthma, attaining maximum indoor air quality can be a major concern.

In independent tests, foam insulation improved indoor air quality significantly. It creates a comfortable draft-free, condensation-free environment in a single application. By sealing out dust, allergens, odors and pollutants, spray foam allows the air management system to be designed so that the indoor air quality is healthier than outside air. It does not emit gases or odors and offers no support to bacteria or fungus.

A spray foam insulated environment is highly recommended for those suffering from allergies, respiratory problems and chemical sensitivities.
