Today, we’re on the verge of a revolution that stands to transform the air we breathe for the better.

As the research continues to pour in, it’s becoming undeniable that indoor air quality (IAQ) is an essential component of human wellness. Diet and exercise have long been understood to influence our health. Over the past several decades, we’ve paid more attention to outdoor air and the quality of our water. Sleep, stress, and mental health are also recognized as crucial wellness factors.

However, IAQ is the next frontier of wellness. To address the IAQ problem, we will have to improve the buildings in which we live, work, learn and gather. The implications are many and far-reaching, impacting institutions of all kinds. As we begin to understand the link between IAQ and wellness better, new technologies hold tremendous promise to make indoor spaces healthier for all.
