Dust Mites are the number one indoor allergen in the world...There are tens
of millions in an average sized home. To make matters worse, each dust mite
sheds as many as 20 fecal particles each day. It is the dust mite feces that
is the allergen.
Airborne fragments may cause eye irritation, allergies, eye-ear-nose-throat infections,
asthma attacks, fatigue and depression.
According to the Dept. of Consumer Affairs, children are more likely than adults to be
affected by polluted indoor air.
Poor Air Quality Can Be Deadly For Infants: According to the ABC News, Air pollution not only
damages children's lungs, it may also be a cause of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS),
a mysterious condition that kills more than 4,500 babies every year in the United States.
Dust mites and other contaminants are pulled into your duct system every time the furnace
or air conditioner runs. These contaminants build up inside the ductwork over time and
can help make your duct system an ideal breading ground for these microscopic critters.
If your ductwork hasn't been cleaned in two or three years, you could be
breathing some very unhealthy air.
Ask about air purifiers that will help keep your air ducts clean.
