Indoor air pollution is the presence of unwanted gases or particles in the air within a building.
What this means at your property
Sources can relate to combustion, materials, activities or outdoor air entering the building. Cleaning a visible surface may address one issue while leaving the actual emission source unchanged. An investigation benefits from a timeline of when and where the concern occurs.
Will a fragrance solve the problem?
A fragrance changes the perceived smell; it does not establish removal of a pollutant. Ask what source was identified and how ventilation, moisture or equipment concerns will be evaluated.
