Why buy a Home Air Purifier?
In testing hundreds of typical homes, results have found that one cubic foot of air may contain literally millions of airborne particles such as dust, dust mite allergens, pollen, smog, mold spores and bacteria. When considering chemical gases, research concludes that the air inside our homes is up to 10 times more polluted than the air outdoors. Individuals with allergies, heart and respiratory conditions can especially suffer from poor indoor air quality.
Scientific evidence now indicates that heart disease and lung cancer are linked to the air pollution that we breathe everyday. |

You can’t build houses too air tight….but you can UNDERVENTILATE them.
...Do you fit the MOLD?
A damp house with high humidity may lead to increased levels of dust mites and mold leading to increased allergic respiratory symptoms, as well as the worsening of asthma. And even if someone is not allergic, molds may produce mycotoxins (secondary fungus)and VOC’s that smell bad and could cause respiratory irritation.
In air tight houses it’s very important to bring in as much fresh air as you can and remove the toxic air from inside through a Heat Recovery Ventilating system. |
