Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality is the state of air cleanliness in and around buildings and structures, especially concerning the occupant's health and comfort. Understanding and controlling common indoor pollutants can help homeowners avoid developing potentially serious health issues. Indoor air pollutants can cause immediate health concerns or may even cause problems not identified for a long time.

How Poor Indoor Air Quality Affects Health

headachesFatigue, headaches, irritation of the throat and nose, and other flu-like symptoms are among the effects homeowners may experience shortly after exposure to excessively poor or contaminated air. Ailments such as asthma can also be triggered after short-term exposure to poor indoor air quality.

Short-term health effects, while dangerous, can be managed and appear to go away after indoor air quality is improved. However, the long-term health effects associated with exposure to these pollutants are more disturbing and cause for concern. If the air quality in the home is poor because of pollution, the family is at risk. Some potential problems include liver or kidney damage, harm to the central nervous system, and even some cancers.

Air Filter Replacement and Maintenance

Homeowners using the correct air filter and replacing it at least every three months can aid in the reduction of bacteria, as well as disease transmission.

Allergies are another condition that can be alleviated by utilizing an air filter and replacing it on time. Air filters remove irritants and allergens, preventing symptoms from being as severe. These health advantages are particularly important for toddlers, the elderly, and individuals with respiratory problems. This population is also more prone to illness and breathing difficulties.

Furthermore, some experts believe that dirty filters are the most common reason for HVAC system failure. When the air filter is clogged, air ducts become dirty, and the air circulating throughout the house is also contaminated. Airflow is also decreased and may lead to constant repairs.

Benefits of Portable Air Cleaners

Another way to improve indoor air quality is by getting an air purifier or sanitizer. Air purifiers have several filtration stages of filtering the air and trapping particulate debris from the indoor air, including allergens, smoke, pet dander, etc.

An air sanitizer destroys germs with UV-C light or aerosol vapors and is ineffective against big particles. Air sanitizers are excellent for high-microbial environments like hospitals. If an aerosol-based sanitizer is used, the filtration is carried out outside the machine’s body. In contrast, if a UV-C sanitizer is utilized, it takes place inside the machine’s body.

Air sanitizers and air purifiers may be used simultaneously and work well together. If a homeowner is looking for just one, an air sanitizer will be best where there are few airborne particles, but germs can be a problem. An air purifier is the best solution in cases with a greater quantity of particles and pathogens.
