Indoor Air Quality

The Importance Of Indoor Air Quality

Never underestimate the impact that your home's air quality has on your health. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency tells us that your risk of exposure to pollutants can be over 100 times greater indoors than outside.

Consider these facts:

• Some experts estimate that as much as 50% of all illnesses are either created or aggravated by poor indoor air quality.
   
• Asthma sufferers make over 200,000 trips to the emergency room each year from incidents that directly result from exposure to dust mites, animal dander, cat saliva, mold and other airborne catalysts.
   
• Radon, a known cancer-causing gas emitted from the soil, is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States.
   
• Additional problems like headaches, nausea, lethargy, and other serious illnesses can be traced to indoor pollution in America's homes and public places.

Indoor air quality is just as instrumental to a healthy lifestyle as exercise and diet. Fortunately, Blind & Sons offers simple preventative solutions that could radically improve the quality of your life.

How Can a Few Simple Products Change Your Life?

If you suffer from common discomforts like headaches, itchy eyes, a runny nose or a persistent cough, you might just have a cold. But you could also be a victim of indoor air pollution. Blind & Sons can help with these simple solutions:

• Air Cleaners
  A whole home air cleaner cleans and purifies all the air in your entire home, not just one room at a time as most air cleaners do. Removing dust and pollen from the air will alleviate allergy and respiratory symptoms. We stock Aprilaire® cleaners as the best low maintenance, high quality solution.
   
• Humidifiers
  A whole home humidifier adds humidity to the warm air produced by your furnace in the cold winter months. It helps to eliminate dry air that can irritate respiratory passages in the nose and throat. Additionally, moist air feels warmer, so you can set your thermostat lower, saving you money on energy bills.
   
• Duct Cleaning
  The duct system acts as the respiratory system of your home. Dust, pollen and mold spores all pass through the ventilation system. A whole home duct cleaning removes these particulates, improving the quality of air in your home and allowing you and your loved ones to breathe easier.
   
• Dehumidifiers
  A whole home dehumidifier maintains a balanced amount of humidity year round, making your home healthier by minimizing harmful contaminates such as viruses, bacteria and dust mites. In addition, a constant humidity level preserves home furnishings and the structural integrity of your home.
   
• UV Lamps
  Your air conditioning system produces moisture during operation. This, in conjunction with the darkness in your duct system, is the perfect environment for growth. An Ultra Violet Germicidal Lamp kills bacteria and mold spores that may be living and growing in your home's ventilation system.
