Mission Statement

This decline in air quality has a negative effect on our health, especially for at-risk populations such as the elderly, infirm, infants, disabled and those with asthma or airborne allergies. The Indoor Air Alliance seeks to increase general awareness about the importance of indoor air quality through education, advocacy and analytical testing of indoor air quality using the most advanced equipment and techniques available.
