Health Benefits of Log Homes

As contaminates get trapped inside of homes, people can get sick.

Impact of Poor Indoor Air Quality

As people spend most of their time indoors, which is said to be as much as 90 percent. And, what's more, the elderly, young children, and people with chronic illnesses get outdoor even less, which is the population that is most vulnerable to chemicals. Experts say that poor air quality leads to or accelerates allergies, asthma, respiratory illness, lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and other serious conditions.
