Improve Indoor Air Quality

The Environmental Protection Agency says that half of all illnesses are either caused or aggravated by poor indoor air quality. Studies show that indoor air can be five times more polluted than outdoor air. You may think you suffer from allergies and respiratory irritation when you go outside. But, you could be missing the greater hazard to your lungs inside your own home. Heating and air conditioning systems are often to blame for poor indoor air quality. 

Allergies, asthma and other chronic illnesses linked to air quality can be aggravated by airborne particles that your home air filtration does not remove from the air. The biggest health hazards are too small to be seen; dust, pet dander, pollen, bacteria, viruses, cooking vapors and tobacco smoke. They’re also too small to be filtered by your nose and mouth, so they settle in your lungs. 

Viruses are very small particles and apt to be passed through conventional filtering and recirculate throughout your home. Common air filters are designed primarily to protect the HVAC system from being damaged by larger particles, not to protect your lungs from the smaller ones. Protect yourself with purification systems designed to improve indoor air quality.
