The Air We Breathe
So, What's the Big Deal
With Clean Air?
Back in the 1970's we had an energy crisis with long gas lines and skyrocketing energy prices. Because of this, homes, offices, schools and all types of buildings were insulated and sealed more tightly. New building codes demanded these changes. This saves energy but the down side is pollutants are trapped indoors. Therefore, little or no air exchanges with the outside. Indoor air is recirculated and pollution is trapped indoors.
From Where Do These Pollutants Come?
Dust Mites
Roughly forty pounds of dust is generated in a 1500 square foot home per year. Eighty percent of the dust is dead skin flakes. Did you know that 42,000 dust mites can live in just one ounce of dust?
Harmful Bacteria
These are found in your home's heating and cooling system, house pets, garbage, bathrooms and elsewhere in you home.
Mold Spores
These are also found in your heating and cooling system, as well as in damp clothing, cleaning materials, and moisture found in your ceilings, walls, carpets and drapes, to name a few.
Other Sources
These include tobacco smoke, clothing, furnishings, construction materials, home cleaning products, pollen, drapes, carpets and chemicals to name a few.
If you don't have an air purifier, you and your family's lungs are the air purifier!
Is It Really That Serious?
Major media sources are creating awareness about the severity of the environmental hazards in our homes. These sources include Life magazine, USA Today, Time magazine, US News & World Report, Business Week, Newsweek to name a few.
Some of the most polluted air you breathe isn't downtown, it's inside your home!
From the floor of the House of Representatives, indoor air pollution has been called our greatest environmental health problem!
"Indoor air pollution is America's Number One Environmental Health Concern" - EPA
"50% of all illness is caused by indoor air pollution." - EPA
"Indoor air pollution is wide spread. You are more likely to get sick from pollution in your home and office than from pollution in the air outside."
- The American Lung Association
