Indoor Air Quality (the condition of our air) is one of those issues that has been pushed aside and minimized for far too long. The truth of the matter is your indoor air could be making you sick. Air “conditioning” is more than just heating and cooling. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems are totally inadequate to provide the quality of air needed to sustain a healthy environment.
Most people don’t know that the indoor air they are breathing may be more polluted than the air outside. The Environmental Protection Agency has reported that indoor air pollution levels can be 100 times higher than the air outdoors.
Breathing contaminated air puts the health of you and your family at risk. In fact, the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology says that 50% of illnesses are caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air and that 1 in 5 Americans – 55 million people – have allergies to airborne triggers such as pollen, mold, dust mites or animal dander.
Recent EPA and American Heart Association findings released during the Air Science 40 Seminar Series shows that small particles in the air we breathe can cause high blood pressure and even cardiovascular disease.
