Air quality monitoring systems, which are becoming more common, could be a step to breathing healthier air.
If you walk into real estate developer Sterling Bay's Fulton Market building, chances are you'll breathe in some pretty fresh air.
Biesty said the air in this building is cycled every 10 minutes, and before the air goes through the highly efficient filters, it's sucked in from outside into a loud, chilly, windy room. "We wanted to find a method or a way to share with our tenants what we were actually doing because they were asking us questions about indoor air quality," Biesty said.
In May, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention set higher recommended standards for ventilation in occupied spaces including offices. And the air purification market is now a $13 billion industry.
