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.
