WHAT AFFECTS INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Studies have shown that people spend up to 90% of the day indoors. As a result, indoor pollution levels can be 100 times higher than outdoor levels.
The dust in offices is made up of particles from various sources, including soil, pollen, hair, clothing fibers and dead skin cells. When someone inhales, dust in the air enters the nose, at which point most of the larger particles (bigger than 10 micrometers in diameter) are filtered or expelled by sneezing.
However, some smaller particles (typically between 2.5 and 10 micrometers, referred to as PM10 particles) always make their way into the windpipe and airways.
BREATHE BETTER WITH EVERY STEP
Carpet is a popular choice for offices because it helps absorb sound, improve indoor air quality, and create a sense of warmth.
All Interface carpet tiles are certified to GREENGUARD Gold and CRI Green Label Plus standards, both of which are based on the CDPH Standard Method Section 01350 for low VOC emissions. The majority of our luxury vinyl tile (LVT) products are also FloorScore® certified, meeting the same rigorous indoor air quality standard to support healthier indoor environments.
