Why Air Quality in the Home is Important
We often think of air quality in terms of the outdoors and the effects of pollution on our air and health. While this is still important to think about and find solutions to, we should also be concerned about the air quality inside of our home and workplaces.
For most people, we spend about 90% of our time inside – either in our home or our job. According to the American Lung Association1, indoor air can be 2-5 times, even up to 100 times, more polluted than outdoor air.
Air pollutants, including molds, can cause health issues such as respiratory stress, coughing, sneezing, congestion, skin rashes, eye irritations, and more. Other common household factors that can lead to poor indoor air quality include dust and pet dander.
Solutions
Regularly dusting and making sure spills are cleaned up, while maintaining a clean home can help to reduce these allergens and irritants. Air quality testing can also be beneficial in ensuring that your space is as healthy as can be. The team at Pure Air offers expertise in air quality measurement and focuses on the most innovative technologies in pure air testing.
Air quality testing is the most common form of testing in the industry, and usually requires a 75 lite air sample from inside the building that is pulled through a small filter.
