    This is important since indoor air is usually more polluted than outdoor air.

    Ventilation is one of the three best ways to enhance or protect indoor air quality:

    • The first is to capture contaminants at the source before they become airborne.

    • The second is ventilation.

    • The third is cleaning the air.
