AIR PURIFICATION AND INDOOR AIR QUALITY

Indoor air quality is the effects of indoor air on the health and well being of individuals. Americans spend up to 90% of their time indoors, and the EPA, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and others, show indoor air pollutant levels may be 10 to 100 times higher then outdoors.
Are you experiencing any symptoms of poor indoor air quality, such as headaches, fatigue, eye and skin irritations, asthma, dizziness, sinus infections, colds, flu and viruses? Indoor air quality affects everyone, but most especially children, the elderly and the over sixty million (60,000,00) people who suffer from allergies, asthma and other respiratory ailments. Indoor air quality is negatively affected by dust mites, pet dander, pollens, insecticides, automotive emissions, smoke, dust, household chemicals, burning foods, formaldehyde and other VOC's (Volatile Organic Compounds); commonly found in carpeting, furniture and office supplies and equipment. Most of these particles can't be seen by the naked eye and are not removed by typical heating and air conditioning system filters. Millions of invisible microorganisms and odors can be present and circulated throughout your home. There are three main types of air pollutants:

1.Particulates which are can be effectively removed by filtration;
2.Microbes which can be controlled with ultraviolet; and
3.Gases, odors, mold, fungus and mildew can be eliminated by photolysis.

Questions that you need to ask are:
- Does anyone suffer from allergies or asthma?
- Is smoking allowed in the home?
- Are there any pets in the home?
- Does dust accumulate quickly?
- Do you get sick frequently?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you may have microbial contaminants polluting the air in your home. Advent Duct Cleaning, Inc. can assist you in the evaluation of air purification systems for the removal of particulates, microbes and odors. We care about the air you breathe!
