Overview: The World Health Organization estimates that up to 30 percent of all new and remodeled buildings worldwide have significant Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ) deficiencies. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), medical costs for serious illnesses caused by indoor air pollution total more than $1 billion annually while lost productivity from those illnesses costs between $4.7 billion and $5.4 billion a year. Add sick leave time to that lost productivity, and illnesses caused by indoor air pollution can cost businesses up to $60 billion a year.
