The EPA notes that indoor air quality problems can be prevented and resolved through simple measures and the cost and effort needed to prevent most air quality problems is significantly less than the cost and effort required to resolve problems after they develop.
Ethylene, is often referred to as the ‘death’ or ‘ripening hormone’ and plays a regulatory role in many processes of plant growth, development and eventually death. Fruits, vegetables and flowers contain receptors which serve as bonding sites to absorb free atmospheric ethylene molecules.
