Polluted air is a big problem for many Americans – and the scary thing is, we aren’t talking about outdoor air quality (that’s a whole other beast). If you didn’t already know, the air in your home can be up to 40 times more polluted than outdoor air. During the spring and autumn, many of us open up our homes to let fresh air come in, but this isn’t always the case in the winter! In fact, while we may love being all bundled up inside our homes during the winter, many of us are unintentionally exposing ourselves to several indoor pollutants. Maybe this is why so many people, adults and children included, have a hard time getting over flu season. We are constantly exposing ourselves to indoor air pollution.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets permissible levels for air pollutants – six to be exact. They are ozone, lead, particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen dioxide. Pretty scary that these are common pollutants many people are breathing in, and have no idea.
What is in Polluted Air In Your Home
The common indoor air pollutants include excessive moisture, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), combustion products, pesticides, radon, dust, and even airborne viruses and bacteria. Here is a look into the lesser-known indoor air pollutants and how they come about:
EXCESS MOISTURE
VOCS
COMBUSTION PRODUCTS
RADON
Getting an air purifier for your home is a must for some people – especially in the winter. We’ve said it before and we will say it again, indoor air quality can be up to 40 times dirtier than the air outside. Throw some fur babies into the mix and anyone with allergies may have an awful time adjusting to your home! The good news is for every problem there are several solutions, and Aquasani specializes in air purifiers for your home and/or office!
