The New Jersey air duct cleaners at Clean as a Whistle are dedicated to fighting indoor air pollution. Poor indoor air quality can be a health risk, whether it be in the home, the office, a warehouse, hospital, school, or other building. While smog, car exhaust fumes, and outdoor air pollution receive a lot of attention, not many people understand the nature and danger of indoor air pollution, and why having your air ducts cleaned on a regular basis is so important. For more information, read our guide on indoor air quality.

Indoor air pollution occurs when chemicals, gases, particles, and other substances are produced or released in or near the home (or other building), reducing the quality of the air by contaminating it with foreign substances. These could be man-made substances, or they could be naturally occurring substances, but their presence in the air qualifies as pollution and can do damage to the human respiratory system.

There are things that you can do to reduce the liklihood of indoor air pollution in your home and prevent air duct contamination.

Types of Indoor Air Pollution

Common pollutants that can be found in many homes, both new and old, include:

• Volatile organic compounds
• Formaldehyde
• Particulates
• Radon
• Asbestos
• Combustion gases and by-products
• Mold, bacteria, and fungus spores

All of these types of air pollution pose a serious health risk to you and your family. These indoor air pollutants come from a variety of sources. Some potential sources of indoor air pollution are obvious, such as:

• Household cleaning products
• Wood or fuels that are burned
• Building materials and products
• Furnishings
• Paint strippers
• Pesticides
• Soil under a house

Other sources of indoor air pollution are less obvious, but just as dangerous, because they release pollutants almost continuously. Air fresheners are just one example of this. Other sources of indoor air pollution, such as unvented space heaters, produce pollutants occasionally or when only when they are used. Regardless of the type of indoor pollution in your home, or its source, contacting professional New Jersey Air Duct Cleaners, such as Clean as a Whistle, is the first step to ridding your home of these dangerous chemicals and molds.
