What is this product?

Office buildings concentrate chemical and biological pollutants from building materials, furnishings, cleaning products, occupant bioeffluents, and outdoor infiltration. Sick Building Syndrome (SBS): WHO estimates 30% of new/renovated commercial buildings have IAQ complaints. CO2 as ventilation proxy: >1,000 ppm indicates inadequate outdoor air supply — Harvard COGFX study showed 61% cognitive decline at 1,400 ppm vs 600 ppm. ASHRAE 62.1 requires 17 CFM/person outdoor air for offices but many buildings underperform. VOCs from furniture, carpet, paint, cleaning, and printers create chronic low-level exposure. PM2.5 from outdoor infiltration, cooking, laser printers. WELL Building Standard and RESET Air: emerging IAQ performance standards for commercial spaces.
