Breathe Easier With Launch of Aerias.org - Internet's Only Site Solely

Dedicated to Understanding Health and Indoor Air Quality

GEORGIA, ATLANTA, Apr. 25 -/E-Wire/-- Judging by its extensive presentation of reader-friendly and easily navigated content, the creators of Aerias.org are not exaggerating when they describe newly launched Aerias.org as the Internet's definitive source for all indoor air quality and its impact on human health.

Karen K. Miles, Ph.D., researcher and writer of Aerias.org, notes, "This site is a one-stop shop for consumers, doctors and medical researchers, health and safety professionals, school administrators, builders, architects, interior designers, facility managers and product manufacturers who seek up- to-the-minute information as well as a wealth of background material relating to any and all issues regarding indoor air quality." Dr. Miles is a Certified Health Education Specialist, specializing in occupational and environmental health matters.

Aerias.org provides easy navigation throughout the site, and features the latest news streamed daily from Reuters Health eLine. Visitors enjoy virtual tours of an office building, a school, a home, and other locations to learn about specific indoor air quality issues within that space. They may click on the picture of a particular room within a commercial office building, such as the conference room, or a classroom in a school, and obtain information on potential pollutants present, their sources, and control measures.

The site, which features several hundred pages, also provides general facts on indoor air pollutants including their health effects and impact on asthma and allergies, and sick building syndrome. Biological and chemical pollutants are listed along with their sources and typical levels found in buildings.

While the launch of Aerias.org marks the completion of Phase One, Kelley Hise, editor of Aerias.org says that Phase Two is already in production and will offer advanced learning to PhDs, medical doctors, and safety and health professionals evaluating indoor air quality illnesses and health complaints. Aerias.org will enable them to evaluate environmental data from buildings relative to volatile organic compounds (VOC), pesticides, combustion gases, particles, molds and allergens, and their impact on pulmonary and respiratory systems in children and adults.

Standards, verifiable laboratory test results, and guest columns bylined by IAQ experts comprise just a portion of the massive content found at Aerias.org. Manufacturers who are participants in voluntary, independent product testing, such as those listed in www.greenguard.org , and whose products are among the lowest emittants of indoor air pollutants and VOCs in the global marketplace today, are showcased at Aerias.org.

Investigation protocols, such as those established by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and others are also featured.

Additional information pages offer links to the EPA, the U.S. Department of Energy, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a hotline to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, and much, much more.

One of the most compelling areas of content at Aerias.org, according to Joseph Q. Jarvis, M.D., and health content editor of the site, is the technical information relating to the amount and composition of chemical pollutants and allergens found in office equipment and building materials.

"The average individual spends nearly 90 percent of his/her time indoors, mostly at a desk, and isn't aware of the impact of our indoor air quality on human health, and the dramatic increase in building-related illnesses that have been validated," explains Dr. Jarvis. Having published and lectured extensively on indoor air quality, Dr. Jarvis says there is no other site on the Internet that is as comprehensive and broadens the awareness of indoor air quality issues, than Aerias.org.

Aerias, LLC, is affiliated with, but not owned by Atlanta, Georgia-based Air Quality Sciences, Inc., a world leader in Indoor Air Quality, Molds and Allergens, and Environmental Chamber Technology protocols used for measuring chemical and particle emissions from indoor work processes and manufactured products.
