People spend most of their time indoors but indoor air can be many times more polluted than outdoor air, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. Indoor air can be affected by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that evaporate, or ‘offgas’, from cleaning products and home finishes. Indoor air quality problems can be very difficult to understand because of the complexity of the building systems.
The Indoor Air Quality Specialist Certification offers an overview of the indoor air pollution challenges we all face, along with comprehensive green information about the way residential and industrial cleaning products are manufactured, and processes and procedures that make it possible to clean effectively, efficiently, and with less impact on the environment.
BecomingGreen, Inc.™ provides green training and a green certification program that helps individuals learn the basic remedial actions needed to make indoor air quality better.
