A healthy home environment begins with the air you breathe.
We will be furnishing information for indoor air pollution awareness:
The problems, the sources, the health hazards and the solutions.
During the energy crisis in the 1970's we began to build our buildings with
more insulation and we started to seal them more tightly. Yes, this saves
energy; however, it traps all the pollutants inside and keeps all the fresh
air out.
Considering the fact that the average person spends 90 % of their time
indoors, it is a serious problem. In fact, government agencies now rate
indoor air pollution as the nation's biggest pollution problem.......
When we are outside, pollen, gases, oils from smoke and other irritants,
attach themselves to the fabric in our clothing. Once we are inside our
home, the clothing release these allergens into our indoor air.......
Our furnishings including new carpeting, drapes, and furniture
all emit chemical fumes, and noxious gases and odors.......
Cleaning products and aerosol sprays used in the home emit noxious gases.......
Construction materials such as plywood emit chemical fumes and noxious gases......
The duct work in your heating and cooling systems gathers dust and dirt
combined with moisture, creates a breeding ground for mold, mildew,
bacteria, and dust mites. These contaminants build up inside the ductwork
over time. Each time the furnace or air conditioner is turned on,
contaminants are spewed out and circulated throughout your home and affect
the health and comfort of your family.......
Did you know that it was in the air ducts that legionaires disease
was spawned.......
Did you know that 42,000 dust mites can live in only one ounce of dust.......
Did you know that forty pounds of dust is generated in an average
sized home each year.......
Did you know that tens of millions of dust mites are in a typical home
when the relative humidity is greater than about 65 percent.......
Did you know that many of these dust mites are in our beds. They love
soft bedding and we spend several hours in bed each night, shedding a
lot of skin there and skin is one of the dust mites favorite foods.....
Did you know that these little microscopic critters shed as many as
20 fecal particles per day. It is this mite feces that is the allergen.....
Did you know that there are 15 species of dust mites.......
Did you know that bacteria is growing in your air ducts and every time
your furnace or air conditioning fan is turned on, these bacteria are
spewed out and circulated throughout your home causing colds, flu,
respiratory infections, eye infections, etc.......
Did you know that mold spores also build up and grow in your air ducts
causing allergies, sinus headaches, irritability, fatigue and depression......
