Growing Indoor Air Quality Problems in the US
Common Problems and Points about the Growing Indoor Air Quality Problems in the US
- Indoor Air Quality can be up to 12 times more polluted that the worst outdoor air (US EPA)
- Over 50% of all illnesses can be related to poor air quality (American College of Allergists)
- Asthma effects 18 Million Americans, and it's most harmful for children and the elderly
- Headaches, random sneezing, and watery eyes can all be symptoms of poor IAQ
- Humidity gives us a feeling of comfort that is often independent from temperature - this means you do not have to adjust your thermostat as low or high to "feel" comfortable
- Furniture, antiques, paintings, and other wood can warp, crack and be ruined with too little or too much humidity
- Nearly 200 American die from Carbon Monoxide in their homes. Absolutely invisible, but easily and quickly spotted with testing. (We have the test equipment for this too.)
- Pet dander, smoke, 'off-gassing' and other pollutants can be spewed from your indoor air ducts up to 6 times per hour
- If the duct system has never been cleaned, pollutants in your home can be accumulated from your home's previous owners
- Most duct systems in the US have never been cleaned, resulting in illness, missed work, and a lower quality of life all due to the air we breathe.
Call to have your indoor air quality checked. You'll breathe easier just knowing!
