Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a major public health issue and the significant health impacts of this problem prompted Mr. Morris to found the Indoor Air Alliance (IAA). This non-profit organization is dedicated to education, advocacy, and the development of new protocols, technology, and methods related to indoor air quality. The IAA focuses on providing objective and consistent indoor air analyses of the homes of people with COPD, Alpha-1, asthma, and other upper respiratory illnesses. The analyses are important tools for their healthcare providers in development of a treatment program.

Mr. Morris is a member of the National Association of Certified Home Inspectors (NACHI) and the International Association of Certified Indoor Air Consultants (IAC2).
