Regular house cleaning is an easy step that can help improve your indoor air quality. In case you’re unaware, your home is still possibly contaminated. Since you are using household cleaning products and other chemicals that contain toxic compounds, the air that circulates throughout your home is likely polluted. Therefore, you and your family can be at risk of developing or worsening allergic reactions and cause other health-related concerns.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, poor indoor air quality is one of the top five environmental risks to the public. Considering that Americans spend about 90 percent of their time indoors, everyone is at risk of catching diseases caused by indoor air pollution.
How do you combat these problems? By installing an air purification system in your home, which can significantly improve your indoor air quality. Marsh Heating and Air Conditioning is your trusted HVAC company in Coon Rapids MN. Our goal is to help you establish a home that is comfortable and free from airborne pollutants.
Understanding Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially related to the health and comfort of building occupants. Understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors can help reduce your risk of indoor health concerns.
Top Sources of Poor Indoor Air Quality
One of the leading indoor air pollutants is radon, a naturally-occurring radioactive gas. It originates from the natural breakdown of radioactive decay of another element called uranium. It is commonly found in igneous rock and soil, but it can also be present in well water in some instances.
Radon is regarded as a significant cause of lung cancer in the United States. If someone in your family smokes and your home has high radon levels, you have at risk of developing lung cancer and other similar diseases. If you have children or people aged 60 or more at home, you should all the more purify your indoor air. Scientific studies have shown that children are more reactive to radon exposure, possibly due to their higher respiration rate and their rapidly dividing cells. They may be more vulnerable to radiation damage. Other sources of indoor air pollution include:
- Pollen and Mold
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
- Tobacco or cigarette smoke
- Household cleaning products
- Stoves, heaters, fireplaces, and chimneys
- Materials used in the building such as lead, asbestos, and formaldehyde
- Gases such as radon and carbon monoxide
Features of the Healthy Climate Carbon Clean 16 Media Air Cleaner
Media air cleaners provide you with efficient, premier indoor air quality. They purify your air and keep allergens away so that you can breathe fresh, clean air, which is circulated by your HVAC system.
In contrast to electrostatic air cleaners that can elevate indoor ozone levels, the Carbon Cleaner 16 provides thorough, unmatched filtration throughout your home while reducing ozone, a known lung irritant. Like plants and trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen back into the atmosphere, the Carbon Clean 16 air filter eliminates harmful ozone from indoor air and converts it into clean, healthy oxygen. As part of this natural and efficient purification process, carbon inside the filter that is traded with oxygen reacts with odors and airborne pollutants to neutralize them before circulating back into your indoor air.
