American Lung Association Selects Applegate Insulation for
Breathe Easy® Office Complex

The American Lung Association of Virginia chose Applegate cellulose insulation for its 12,000 square foot Breathe Easy office complex because it helps them realize their primary goal of minimizing indoor air pollutants.
 
Many common building materials release and/or contain fairly dangerous substances.  For example, particle board emits formaldehyde.  Fiberglass insulation is a listed potential carcinogen and contains respirable glass fibers and formaldehyde.  Poor indoor air quality affects millions of workers' health, decreases productivity, and increases the amount of sick leave.
