Nothing is worse than feeling like you can’t breathe comfortably in your own home. Whether you’ve battled with seasonal allergies for years or are watching your child suffer for the first time, it can be hard to find solutions that really work to manage allergy problems.
Prescriptions and over-the-counter drugs may help with your symptoms, but you know that the only way to find real relief is to eliminate the allergens that are causing your problems. Dusty, dirty homes at any temperature can mean discomfort. The air in today’s tightly-sealed, well-insulated homes can become stale as the same indoor air is circulated and re-circulated. In fact, indoor air quality is among the Environmental Protection Agency’s top three health concerns.
The agency reports that with dust, pollen, pet dander, mold, skin flakes, chemical fumes, cigarette smoke, Radon gas and more, the air inside your home can be two-to-five times dirtier than the air outside.
Although we usually can’t see them, air pollutants are all around us, already inside our homes and waiting to come in from outside. From our yards to our kitchens, dangerous air pollutants threaten our home health and air quality. Plus, each season brings its own dangers, from mold in the fall and winter to pollens and high humidity in the spring and summer.
Your Health, Allergies, & Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Removing Allergens & Clean Indoor Air Quality air purifiers and air cleaners help to remove particle pollutants from the air and encourage good air circulation. These devices can be installed on their own or as part of a whole-house heating and cooling system. Remember that being proactive is key. Work to identify indoor air quality problems as soon as allergy symptoms crop up. Remove any pollutants that you can (such as houseplants, dirty furniture, carpets and rugs that need to be cleaned or moved outside) before choosing a comprehensive IAQ improvement solution for your space.
