Over the years, a number of studies have confirmed that indoor air can contain a number of harmful chemicals and biological agents such as mold, allergens and volatile organic compounds. There is also growing evidence that poor indoor air quality affects the health and performance of the people who work, live and study in poorly designed and constructed buildings. These studies confirm that air pollution concentrations indoors can be 2 to 5 times higher than the air we breathe outside (U.S. Environmental Protection Agency).

 

HFCs or formaldehyde. Foam is a high-performance insulation and air barrier system that works to minimize the intrusion of outdoor pollen, allergens and pollution from entering the home. By reducing air leakage, Foam assists in controlling moisture transfer through the building envelope. This helps to minimize condensation and the potential for mold growth within the walls and ceilings. Foam has been tested by Texas Tech University and was found not to be a food source for mold.
