As a result, indoor air pollution has become one of the five biggest environmental factors that harm people's health in the U.S.
In the U.K., a survey conducted in 500 offices discovered that 12.5% of office air is unhealthy; people who work at these offices feel fatigued and develop rough skin.
Meanwhile, the Hong Kong environmental protection agency has found that 37.5% of office air quality is below standard. Indoor environment pollution has become an international concern. When people are paying attention to the blue sky, they should also focus on indoor environment pollution.
