Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality is important for every home, especially those with occupants suffering from asthma or allergies. EPA studies show that even in the smoggiest cities, the air inside most modern homes is usually at least ten times more polluted than the air outside. Why is this?
There are a variety of reasons that account for poor air quality in a home:
- Radon and CO2 leeching into a home
- Gas-emitting chemicals used to make carpeting, drapery, household cleaners, and furniture
- Airborne pollutants such as pollen, viruses, dust, and dust mites
- Damp areas that can breed mold, mildew, and other microbes
