• An average worker spends over 90 360 hours of his lifetime working.• Health effects from indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after exposure or possibly years later. It is important to

improve the indoor air quality even if symptoms are not noticeable.• Exposure to tobacco smoke and chemical irritants in the workplace or building are one of the strongest risk factors for

developping asthma.• ASTHMA: 1 in 14 people have it / It costs the economy $11.5B / It is the 3rd leading cause of work loss.
