THE FACTS ABOUT INDOOR AIR QUALITY

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental dangers to the public. EPA research also concluded that indoor air can be two to five times (and sometimes as much as 100 times!) more polluted than the WORST outside air! Since research indicates Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, it’s no wonder that asthma and allergy suffering is on the rise.

The Harvard School of Public Health conducted an indoor air quality study in 120 homes on Massachusetts' Cape Cod and found that 100% of the homes tested turned up airborne toxic compounds in potentially harmful levels.

CHILDREN ARE MORE VULNERABLE
According to information from the American Academy of Pediatrics, children are more vulnerable than adults to many airborne contaminants.

WHY CLEAN THE AIR?
As a nation we have recognized the benefits of drinking clean water, as we spend over $7 billion dollars annually on bottled water. It is suggested that we drink approximately two quarts of clean water each day to maintain optimum body conditions. By comparison, we inhale 15,000 (or more) quarts of air each day. Although drinking clean water each day is important, how important is it to a healthy lifestyle to consume “clean air?”

The bad news is that these conditions exist to some degree, in every home no matter how clean they are. The good news is that there are ways to control them.

Air ducts can harbor mold, dust mites, bacteria, fungi and other pollutants.		Suspended airborne spores can cause numerous allergic reactions and ailments.
One ounce of dust contains nearly 42,000 living dust mites. Each mite is expelling 20 fecal pellets every day into the air you breathe.		Mold or fungi spores can contaminate indoor air and cause "sick homes" which can lead to allergies, asthma or other health problems.
