If watery eyes, sneezing and stuffy noses are common in your home, it could be a result of your ventilation system gathering mold, mildew, dust mite waste, animal dander and a collection of other irritants that circulate in the air your family breathes. Research shows that indoor pollutants have been strongly associated with increased respiratory illnesses for people with asthma and allergies. Indoor air pollution is a serious health
hazard affecting millions of Americans. Researchers claim it
contributes to more than half of all illnesses, including sinusitis,
allergic rhinitis, asthma and more. A surprising number of
contaminant sources thrive in the indoor environment. Common
household pollutants include dust, mold, pollen, and insect remains.
Air conditioning and heating systems are perfect collection points for
airborne pollutants like dust and mold spores. The moist, temperate
environment is an ideal habitat for fungi and bacteria to flourish.
