Why Your Home Needs Air Purification
Indoor air pollution can pose a serious threat to your health as well as your family’s. Studies from the Environmental Protection Agency reveal that the levels of many air pollutants may be two to five times more potent indoors than the air outside. In some cases like an ongoing home renovation project, indoor air pollution may even be 100 times higher than outdoor air pollution. This is quite alarming considering that most people spend most of their time indoors.
Common Sources of Indoor Air Pollution
Exposure to household air pollution, particularly smoke from cooking stove leads to an estimated 4 million premature deaths each year and is the fourth worst health risk in the world.
Asbestos is a naturally occurring group of minerals that are found in the environment, which are used as common elements of building material. Current products include roofing materials, vinyl tile, cement piping, corrugated sheeting, home insulation, and some potting soils.
Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. Like asbestos, radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and comes from the natural breakdown (radioactive decay) of uranium. It is commonly found in igneous rock and soil, but in some cases, well water may also be a source of radon.
Lead can be present in all parts of our environment – the air, the soil, the water, and even inside our homes. Lead and lead compounds have been used in a variety of products found in and around our homes including paint, ceramics, pipes and plumbing materials, gasoline, batteries, and cosmetics.
What Indoor Air Pollution Does to Your Health
Exposure to indoor air pollutants can cause numerous immediate and long-term health problems.
Some effects may be experienced immediately after a single exposure or repeated exposures to one or more pollutants. These may include irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat, fatigue, headaches, dizziness, coughing, and upper respiratory tract infection.
On the other hand, repeated exposures to poor air quality can lead to diminished lung function and breathing problems as well as lung cancer or cardiovascular diseases. Those with pre-existing cardiovascular or lung diseases are particularly open to the effects of pollution and may find their conditions aggravated due to continuous exposure.
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. Similar to 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 they are circulated back into your indoor air.
