Improving Indoor Air Quality in Your
Home Important For Health and Safety of Furnace Homeowners
(Furnace, GA) February 1, 2010 --
Who would think indoor air Quality can be hazardous to your health Indoor air-- a pollutant? Unfortunately, that
is often the case, said Steve Samson, President of Atlanta HVAC by Premier Indoor. Premier Indoor Comfort
Systems is an Furnace based specialist in Indoor Air Quality. The American Lung Association estimates that most
people spend 90 percent of their time indoors, making indoor air quality (IAQ) extremely important.
Some
of the most effective solutions for poor indoor air quality may involve heating and cooling systems. Electronic
air cleaners (EACs) and high-efficiency air filters can assist in absorbing particles that otherwise would
escape due to their size. EACs and high-efficiency filters help clean the air and provide respiratory relief by
removing dust, dirt, and pollen. Other products that are available include humidifiers, carbon monoxide
detectors, heat recovery ventilators, and air purifiers. A good source of information on all of these products
can be found at www. FurnaceFurnace.com
"Thankfully, there are things a
homeowner can do to help alleviate potential IAQ concerns. The first step toward improving indoor air quality is
to identify the sources of air pollutants," said Samson. "Eliminating or reducing these sources are the most
effective ways to clean the air. Although it is not possible to eliminate every contaminant source, reducing the
sources and/or the amount of pollutants they emit, will contribute to a healthier living environment."Exposure
to air pollutants can be up to 100 times higher indoors than outdoors. Many common household items contribute to
poor indoor air quality Compounds found in carpeting, furniture, upholstery, and drapery fabric constantly emit
fumes. Other sources of pollutants can include cleaning agents, paints, and personal care
products.
The
tight construction of today’s homes also contributes significantly to poor Indoor Air Quality. Things like
weather-stripping and storm doors are designed to save on energy costs. However, they also prevent proper ventilation by keeping indoor air in and
outdoor air out. The result can be a build-up of contaminants within the home.
Poor
IAQ can be the cause of numerous health problems. Medical groups report that as many as half of all illnesses
are caused or aggravated by indoor air pollution. Pollutants within the home can cause homeowners to suffer from
flu-like symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and respiratory irritation. Two health problems that can be helped
by clean indoor air are allergies and asthma. Even people who have
never suffered from allergies can benefit from improved IAQ. By removing airborne dust particles from the air,
the amount of exposure they have on the respiratory system is greatly reduced.
