Air Purifying and Filters

The quality of the air in your home may not be up to a healthy standard of living. The air we breathe in on a regular basis just performing indoor activities is reported to be 2-5 times more polluted than the air outside. Amongst the many contributing factors are natural gas, chemical cleaners, smokers, mold, and our efforts to conserve energy. Yes, believe it or not our most recent efforts to seal up our homes are actually keeping the polluted air inside, thus the need for air purifiers.

The people most at risk are the elderly, young children, pregnant women, individuals with lung disease and those who suffer from allergies. This is due to the amount of time spent indoors. According to the American Lung Association here are a few ways to help reduce the amount of pollution in the home:

Do not allow smoking indoors.

Keep moisture out.

Protect against Radon.

Make sure where ever you are using a natural gas the space is properly ventilated.

Open your windows when the weather permits.

Purchase a quality air purifier.
