A: Look at a ray of sunshine coming through a window. What you see floating in the air is dust and other particles such as dead skin from people who have been in that room.

Q: Why should we be concerned about indoor air quality?

A: Did you know that only 10% of colds are caught outdoors and 90% are caught indoors?
