Indoor Air Quality


According to the EPA, indoor air quality levels may be two-to-five times less healthy than outdoor air quality levels. This fact, coupled with the fact that Americans spend most of their time indoors (almost 90 percent), suggests that you should consider buying a suitable air cleaner for you home, and perhaps for your office.

The problem with today's homes is that they are built energy efficient to "hold" air inside to avoid heat loss in the winter and heat gain in the summer. The energy bills are reduced but the indoor air is trapped. This type of construction does not allow the house to breath trapping particulates into the air. Opening a window might contribute to the allergens in the air with the inflow of pollen for those who are allergic. The popularity of home air quality has grown significantly in the last several years for concern of pollutants such as dust, pollen, pet dandruff, and smoke. This is a serious issue and a good air cleaner can reduce many of the air particulate that circulate throughout the house. Choosing the right air cleaner for you might be a difficult decision since some brands concentrate on one type of pollutant. For example, if you have a smoker in the house, you might want a air purifier that specializes in smoke or if you have pets another brand might work better. Dust and pollen is another aspect of impure air so finding a air purifier that concentrates on these pollutants might work best for your needs.
