The Importance of Indoor Air Quality
Why is indoor air quality so important?
The Importance of
Indoor Air Quality
Environmental research is disclosing a surprising and disturbing factor in our health - the quality of air in the home is much more important than ever suspected. The Congressional Quarterly has claimed that indoor air is often two to five times more polluted than outdoor air and can be up to 1,000 times as dirty. Given that many of us spend up to 90% of our time indoors, this is a serious health concern.
This is an issue that concerns us all. The first step is awareness of the risks. Fortunately, prevention is easy and economical. Your home and your office can have clean air for healthy living right now.

CLEAN AIR AND YOUR HEALTH
When we hear the words 'air pollution,' we think of smog, auto emissions, factory smoke, etc. Recent research suggests that we may have been looking in the wrong places. Environmental scientists claim that the real risks to our health are much closer to home. It is indoor air quality that has the greater impact.
Not surprisingly, many of these risks have accompanied the technical advances in our lives. Improved building techniques and concern for energy efficiency have created airtight housing. These buildings retain and re-circulate indoor air along with any contaminants.
At the same time, many common materials in the home contain chemicals that are now implicated in conditions ranging from allergies and chronic respiratory irritation to cancer. A wide range of less severe but potentially debilitating health problems including headaches, chronic fatigue, drowsiness, difficulty concentrating, and even snoring can often be attributed to poor indoor air quality.
These potentially harmful substances carried in indoor can be controlled
by you.
THE PARTICLES IN OUR AIR
The minute, invisible particles in the air are a primary threat to health. They evade the body's filtering mechanisms and penetrate deep into lung tissue, carrying toxic substances which are absorbed in the body.
The harmful particles, which include dust mites, pet dander, mold spores, and pollen, provoke allergic reactions in many people.
Some allergic reactions are severe - asthma is the best known and one of the most serious. Other allergic conditions are subtle chronic conditions. Runny nose, watery eyes, recurring headaches, lethargy, even snoring can all be symptoms of allergy. Many people endure these conditions, not knowing that they are allergy-related and that prevention is readily available.
