3. Green Guide: Indoor Air Quality (click here)

   Forza Review: There is a growing acceptance that human exposure to environmental pollutants mainly occurs from the air we breathe indoors. Pollutants emitted from products and materials utilised in homes, commercial, education and health premises can contaminate indoor air 2 to 5 times greater than the air we breathe outside. The primary source of indoor exposure to airborne chemicals is from products used in interior environments that can emit a significant quantity of volatile organic compounds (VOC's). With this in mind Forza are continually reviewing the materials it uses within its product range and select the best materials for low VOC emission.
