Modern homes have become almost airtight. That has the advantage to save energy and to keep outdoor air pollution from entering the home. Unfortunately, this also leads to an accumulation of indoor air pollutants, which are now blamed for so many modern illnesses such as allergies and asthma. Since we spend more and more time indoors, be it at home or at work, indoor air pollution has become a bigger health problem than outdoor air pollution.
Good ventilation has, therefore, become essential to protect your health. The purpose of ventilation is not only to remove bad smells from the kitchen or the toilet, ventilation also removes or dilutes potentially hazardous pollutants and gases; and it helps to control the indoor humidity and, as a consequence, limits the growth of harmful organisms.
