As professional air duct cleaners, our primary concern is indoor air quality in the home and office. The following is a simple guide to indoor air quality, brought to you by the NADCA certified air duct cleaners at Clean as a Whistle. Please be aware that air duct cleaning does not and cannot solve all indoor air pollution problems; rather it serves one important part in any plan to prevent indoor air pollution and ensure the best quality of air indoors.
Pollution is a health risk that affects everyone. It is impossible to escape some exposure to the environmental hazards and pollutants in our air. While this general exposure is unavaoidable, there are things that can be done to avoid exposure and reduce your risk of being affected. You can help prevent and reduce indoor air pollution.
According to the EPA, scientific studies have indicated that the quality of air indoors can easily become more polluted than outdoor air, even the air in large industrial cities. What this means is that the air quality in your living room is likely worse than the air quality in New York, Chicago, or Detroit. Furthermore, it is not uncommon for someone to spend 90% of their time indoors. Consequently, your greatest risk of being exposed to pollution in within your own home.
The dangers of indoor air pollution extend even further. For example, if anyone in your family is young, elderly, or chronically ill, these people are the most likely to spend their time inside. There are also the groups who are most negatively affected by indoor air pollution. The health effects of indoor air pollution are the worst for those who already suffer from heart or lung diseases.
While any one source of pollutants within a home may have negligible health risks, most homes have numerous sources of indoor air pollution. It is the combination of all these pollutants that can result in serious health risks. The purpose of this guide is to increase awareness of the dangers of indoor air pollution, so that steps can be taken to ensure the indoor air quality in every home and office. The information provided here originated as an indoor air quality booklet that was prepared by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to help consumers.
