FACTS
Air pollutants indoors can be two to five times higher than pollutant levels outdoors.

Indoor air pollutants are one of the top environmental concerns in the country.

Americans spend up to 90 percent of their time indoors.

Indoor pollutants include biological pollutants which are or were living organisms. They can travel through the air and are often invisible.

Biological contaminants can cause poor indoor air quality and some can damage surfaces inside and outside the home. These contaminants can travel through the air and are often invisible. Common indoor biological contaminants include bacteria, molds, mildew, viruses, animal dander and cat saliva, house dust mites, cockroaches, and pollen. There are many sources of these pollutants:

Bacteria are carried by people, animals, and soil and plant debris.

Viruses are transmitted by people and animals.

Pollens originate from plants.

The protein in urine from rats and mice is a potent allergen. When it dries, it can become airborne. The two conditions that are necessary to support biological growth are nutrients and moisture. (Reference)

In a January 2005 survey done by Survey Research Institute, Cornell University, School of Industrial and Labor Relations, the results showed that “general interest for allergy friendly rooms was very high with the vast majority (83%) saying they would prefer to stay in a hotel or motel room that is specially treated to remove airborne allergens, if they had an option. Nearly one-third (31%) had allergy issues themselves or traveled with family members who have asthma or allergies. Interestingly, even the majority (81%) of those who did not have issues with allergies still said they would prefer an allergy friendly room. Nearly two-thirds (65%) said they thought an allergy friendly room should cost at least 10% more than a comparable non-allergy friendly room. Business travelers were slightly more likely to say that they would prefer an allergy friendly room (90% vs. 82%).”
