For good health, well-being and safety reasons, humans need to be in a comfortable indoor environment with good air quality. The air must be free from dust, irritants, unpleasant smell, mold and mildew and other airborne contaminants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Indoor Air Pollution is an invisible threat to your health. Many factors are responsible for poor indoor air quality (IAQ) in hotels &amp; resorts. Some often-unnoticed cases include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">The level of outdoor air pollution caused due to smog, traffic emissions and the use of chemical pesticides.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Unobserved sources of indoor pollution originated from cleaning chemicals, use of artificial room fresheners, carpets and soft furnishings.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Improper ventilation and air distribution rate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif; font-size: 12pt; color: #000000;\">Amount of moisture present in kitchen areas, gym, spa, and indoor swimming pool leads to the growth of mold and mildew which can cause serious health issues.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;
