Many of the conservation measures of the 1970’s served to “tighten” buildings in effort to reduce energy loss.  Some of the unwanted side effects were a reduction in fresh make-up air and an increase in indoor air pollutants such as carbon dioxide, chemicals released from off-gassing synthetic building materials and furnishings, and microbial contaminants, among others.

Radon is a contaminant that affects indoor air quality worldwide.
