Indoor Air Quality

Facts About Indoor Air Quality

  • According to the American College of Allergies , 50% of all illness is aggravated or caused by polluted indoor air.
  • The Environmental Protection Agency declare that indoor air is anywhere from 2 to 10 times more hazardous than outdoor air.
  • The EPA also states that indoor air quality is the United States ' number one environmental health problem.
  • Most people spend well over 90% of their time indoors. In which case, indoor air is going to impact our health far more than outdoor air.
  • The EPA states that 6 out of 10 homes and buildings are "sick", meaning they are hazardous to your health to occupy as a result of airborne pollutants.

Where Does This Indoor Air Pollution Come From?

  • People. About 80% of what you see floating in a ray of sunshine is dead human skin flakes, and you can only see about 10% of the airborne pollutants. Dead human skin is a staple of the dust mite diet.
  • Dust. About 40 pounds of dust is generated per 1,500 square feet every year. Each speck of dust carries about 40,000 dust mites and other illness-causing bacteria and viruses.
  • Allergens. Pollens, ragweed, and a variety of other allergens find their way into the home from outdoors.
  • Carpet, Plywood, and other Construction Materials. The "new" smell associated with new carpet, newly painted walls, new home, remodeled room, etc. is actually the outgassing of the chemical solutions used to treat these products.
  • Mattresses and Furnishings. Treated with fire retardants, stain treatments, and other chemicals add to the chemical vapors we breathe inside.
  • Pillows and Blankets. Dust mites live and thrive in bedding materials.
  • Air Conditioning Systems. Air Handler coils collect dirt, bacteria, and spores. Their wet dark environment is a perfect breeding ground for harmful allergens. High quality filtration and regular cleaning is the best way to insure you have a healthy system.
  • Pets. Airborne animal or pet dander is a common trigger for allergies and asthma.
    Insects and Other Bugs. Insect and bug feces is a powerful allergen. In a recent extensive study by the New England Journal of Medicine , more than half the homes tested had high levels insect feces and decay. Children living in these homes were more than three times as likely to be hospitalized for asthma.
  • Smoking. Smoking in the home leaves the air being breathed dense with over 3600 cancer-causing toxins. These toxins cling to the clothing we wear and are released throughout the home.


Based on studies by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), billions of dollars are spent annually for medication to help Americans breathe or cure their respiratory illnesses. Eleven million Americans have asthma. Twenty-eight million have hay fever and other allergies. Physicians are now discovering that the solution to the problems of many of these people is not in medicine but in reducing the pollutants in the air they breathe.

Every year at least 6,000 new chemical compounds are developed. Many are used indoors every day, at home and at work. Add to these pollutants the mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, tobacco smoke, grease, pollen, dirt, asbestos, lead and numerous other contaminants that can affect our breathing and our health. Then allow them to circulate in today's nearly airtight indoor environment. No wonder our indoor air is, on average, two to ten times as polluted as the worst outdoor air.

Viruses and bacteria that thrive in the ducts, coils, and recesses of building ventilation systems have been proven to cause ailments ranging from influenza to tuberculosis. Some HVAC systems have been found to contain up to 27 species of fungi.
