How fresh is the air in your home? Most people spend the majority of their time indoors. Scientific evidence has shown that the air within our homes can be more
polluted than outside. In an attempt to conserve energy people have added weather-stripping, storm windows, insulation and caulking. While these are excellent energy savers, they make your
house airtight, which may trap pollutants. Air in your home is full of these invisible pollutants, which may come from chemicals, cleaning products, pesticides, pets, and
even cooking. More serious bacteria and viruses can lead to the flu, measles, chicken pox, and tuberculosis. These pollutants are continually recirculated throughout your indoor ventilation
system. Fortunately there are ways to improve indoor air quality. Electrostatic filters, electronic air cleaners, ultraviolet air treatment, energy recovery ventilators,
high efficiency media filters, and pleated filters can all be used to help neutralize unhealthy microorganisms and remove indoor pollutants and other airborne contaminants. |
