Is the air in your home polluted?

Do you think that  the air in your home could be polluted?   Consider that according to a study by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, indoor air contaminants are responsible for or aggravate half of all illnesses.

Chances are that you may be suffering from an illness or sensitivity due to a host of indoor air pollutants such as cleaning chemicals, paint fumes, organic fumes, dust, dust mites, pet dander, pollen, mould spores, tobacco smoke, out-gassing of construction materials, bacteria, viruses and fungi.

 

These indoor air pollutants put stress on our immune system, which lead to other health problems. The effects of poor indoor air quality on an individual can vary greatly based on age and relative health. Children are especially at risk because they breathe faster than adults and children inhale 50 percent more air per pound of body weight than adults. Children have become more prone to asthma in recent years for several reasons including air pollution and the proliferation of synthetic materials in our environment.

 

We all love our pets, but not the hair or dander they bring into our homes. Our pets” dead skin flakes, urine, feces, saliva and hair can trigger asthma and can cause an allergic reaction.

 

Hay fever affects more than 115 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). WHO has suggested urban air pollution may be one of the reasons the problem is growing. We all know it is recommended we drink approximately two quarts of clean water each day. By comparison, we inhale apporximately 15,000 quarts of air each day and to stay healthy, need to make sure that air is as pure as possible.

 

There are three main categories of indoor pollution:

 

1. Particulate Matter (Dust, Pollen, Spores, Smoke and Dander)

2. Biological contaminants (Bacteria, Virus, Germs)

3. Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs (Chemicals and vapours from paints, dry cleaning, pressed wood furniture, adhesives, carpets, upholstery, drapes, tobacco smoke, nail polish removers, air fresheners, perfumes and plastics etc.)
