Indoor Air Quality Has a Major Effect on Your Health

|

In recent years, a lot of efforts have been put forward in this country to reduce the amount of pollutants released into the air and help protect our environment. But when it comes to your health, the outdoor air may be the least of your problems. You spend a large majority of your time indoors, so the indoor air quality can have a major impact on your health and wellness as well as your comfort. Take a look at some common problems with the indoor air and what you can do to resolve these.

Potential Problems with Your Air Quality

The level of pollutants in the air may be 2 to 5 times higher in your home than they are outdoors, which is why finding a solution to indoor air quality issues is key to your health. Bacteria, viruses, mold spores and particles circulate around your home as you run your heating and air conditioning systems, and the typical home air filter may not be able to clean the air well enough, especially if anyone in the home suffers from allergies, asthma or an immune system disorder.

Solutions to Common Indoor Air Quality Issues

We recommend that you consult a technician to find a whole-home solution to your indoor air quality issues if you want to stop contaminants in their tracks. A whole-home indoor air quality control system that’s installed in the ductwork will be able to get rid of contaminants beyond those that get trapped in the standard air filter.

A technician can help you to choose a filter with a higher MERV rating (minimum efficiency reporting value) so that you have better protection against smaller particles. UV light air purifiers offer protection from bacteria, viruses and mold spores specifically, while some air purifiers use ionization to charge particles so that they cling to a surface rather than circulating through the air. Call your local indoor air quality specialists for more information.
