Indoor Air Quality

Introduction to IAQ

 

· According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than the air outdoors. The Environmental Protection Agency lists poor indoor air quality as the fourth largest environmental threat to our country.

 

Why do you need whole-house air cleaning? Consider this:

  • Each person inhales over 3,500 gallons of air each day. Children inhale more particles for their size then adolescents or adults.
  • Polluted air causes 94% of all respiratory problems. More than 31 million Americans have been diagnosed with asthma, about 1/3 are children under 18.
  • About 40,000 dust mites, a common household allergen, can live in one ounce of dust.
  • An estimated 10-15% of the entire population may be allergic to cat or dog dander.
  • A person sheds up to 700,000 skin flakes per day.
  • Common pollutants can enter our houses through air leaks in the structure.
  • Common housing problems or failures that occur in our homes include: musty odors and mold growth, window condensation, structural rot, peeling paint, backdrafting appliances, damp basements and ice dams, or build-up of ice on the roof’s edge, and high utility costs.
