Healthy ventilation systems produce clean indoor air in your home or office, and help keep toxins out of your environment. Air purifiers are an important part of your home's HVAC system because indoor air pollutants can have an adverse affect on your health, and may even cause serious problems for you and your family. This page lists the pollutants that may be in your home as well as the side effects of each. It also provides product solutions to improve and maintain healthy indoor air quality.

Indoor pollutants consist of dust, bacteria, mold spores, and chemicals.

DUST: One ounce of dust can host up to 42,000 dust mites. A 1500 square foot house can generate 40 pounds of dust per year, containing 15 different species of dust mites. These airborne fragments cause eye and skin irritation, allergies, eye/ear/nose/and throat infections, asthma attacks, fatigue, and depression.

BACTERIA: Bacteria are found in your heating and cooling systems, house pets, garbage, bathrooms, and nearly everywhere in your home. They cause colds, flu, lung infections, and eye and skin infections.

MOLD SPORES: Mold Spores are found in heating and cooling systems, damp clothing, cleaning materials, and the moisture in your ceilings, walls, carpet, drapes, etc. Mold spores can cause allergies, sinus headaches, irritability, fatigue, and depression.
