Asbraav air quality director Mário Henrique Canale, along the meeting, presented data and commented on the need to take care of the air that breathes in internal environments.

- Few spaces take care of the air quality we breathe in closed environments. Much is spoken in environmental pollution, but few know that pollution in internal environments is two to five times worse than external air. In 2018 approximately seven million people died in the world for diseases caused by air pollution. Chemicals in environments that are not aerated correctly increase the concentration of pollutants, thus facilitating the proliferation of mold and mite. People begin to present symptoms such as eye irritation, headache, dizziness and difficulty concentrating and do not even suspect that the problem is in the lack of air quality - stressed.
