We spend up to 90% of our time indoors, according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), much of it at home or work.
Indoor air quality (IAQ) is a huge factor in the health and comfort of your family. But IAQ issues aren’t always obvious. Do you experience allergies, asthma, or other respiratory symptoms at home? If the answer is yes, potentially harmful contaminants may be floating in the air.
For example, we can install an Air Scrubber for you. An Air Scrubber will reduce approximately 90% of airborne contaminants and 99.9% of all surface contaminants. It reduces odors, including pet odors.
Contaminants in air ducts can re-circulate in your home. A professional duct cleaning service can clear out pollutants and pathogens deep inside ducts. Duct sealing non-invasively closes small holes and gaps that allow pollution in from outside. These services can yield more consistent heating and cooling, improve efficiency, and reduce indoor air quality issues.
Over the last 40 years, homes have been built with tighter envelopes. Modern design practices effectively keep out cold air in winter and hot air in summer. However, they also contribute to indoor air pollution. A high-MERV-rated whole-home air filter reduces airborne pathogens and removes harmful microorganisms.
Ultraviolet light breaks down organic contaminants at the molecular level. A UV light source installed in a duct or other part of your HVAC system kills bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew. It uses no chemicals, ozone, or volatile organic compounds that can contribute to indoor air pollution.
An air scrubber eliminates about 90% of suspended particulates and 99.9% of contaminants on surfaces. It reduces dust, odors, and germs including disease-causing bacteria. Mold spores and dust mites are also removed.
Air pollution at home comes from internal and external sources. Poor ventilation prevents the dilution and removal of pollutants generated indoors. High temperature and humidity can cause some pollutants to become more concentrated. Some of the most common sources of indoor pollution include:
Byproducts from fuel-burning appliances
Cooking and heating practices
Household cleaning chemicals
Tobacco smoke
New carpet, flooring, and upholstery
Aging asbestos insulation
Pressed-wood cabinetry and furniture
Outdoor pollution (pesticides, radon, wildfire smoke, etc.)
Mold and mildew
Particulates and chemicals can be 100 times more concentrated than permitted by current regulations. Poor IAQ is strongly associated with respiratory illnesses, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. The symptoms of indoor pollution include a cough, scratchy throat, headache, skin sensitivity, and fatigue. Organic and man-made pollutants can make homes, offices, schools, and any indoor environment a risk to your health and well-being.
The indoor environment in any home is the outcome of the interaction between the HVAC system, climate, contaminant sources, moisture levels, and building design.
Increased exposure to allergens and pollutants can increase the risk of respiratory issues and give rise to allergies and asthma.
While some sources cannot be completely eliminated from the house, advanced IAQ technologies have made it possible to limit the spread of these hazardous pollutants.
