About Agentis Air
Food and water supplies are protected from outside dangers. Indoor air is not, and you cannot go more than a few minutes without it.
Why it matters
That figure comes from EPA research, which has also recorded indoor concentrations more than 100 times higher than outdoors. Research now links indoor air pollution to heart disease and dementia as well as respiratory illness, and none of it is visible to the eye.
Daily life adds to the load. Heating, cooking, cleaning and working all put particles into a room, and the more time you spend at home, the more of them you breathe.
Agentis Air brings together experience in engineering, commercial air pollution control and ventilation, and a personal understanding of the harm indoor air pollution causes. The company's R&D and product testing labs are in Rockville, Maryland.
