Dry eyes, scratchy throat, headache. For some, these symptoms can be traced back to flowering buds and blooming trees but for others, there’s another unsuspecting culprit: their office building.  In the wake of World Day for Safety and Health at Work on April 28th,  Joe Fida, Partner and CIO of Blade Air - a Toronto-based company known for transforming indoor air quality, and recent Forbes 30 under 30 recipient, is available to chat about indoor air in the workplace.
 
In our post-COVID world, air quality has never been more topical, but many still don’t realize the danger that continues to lurk in what they can’t see: the air they breathe.  In fact, 50% of all illnesses are caused or exacerbated by polluted indoor air.  A recent study by the Environmental Protection Agency found that indoor air quality in North American workplaces can be poor and that indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air. But there’s good news - studies show that improved air quality can increase productivity by 11%, improve health outcomes and even increase job satisfaction.
