Did you know that most homes generate about 40 pounds of dust per year for every 1,500 square feet of space? While some neat-freaks may argue that point, it’s a safe bet that unless they have the proper filters in place to eliminate the dust, they also are living with 40 pounds of pet dander, human skin flakes and various other microscopic particles that invade the home. The thought of living with such filth has consumers running for their dust rags and in many cases indoor air quality (IAQ) solutions. . According to the EPA, all of us face a variety of risks to our health as we go about our daily lives. Driving, flying and being exposed to environmental pollutants all pose some risk. We accept these risks because we want to lead our lives the way we want. However, some risks can be avoided with the proper information. Indoor air pollution is one risk consumers can do something about. And IAQ problems aren’t limited to dust. Combustion sources (oil, gas, wood and tobacco products), building materials, cleaning products, cooking smells and outdoor sources such as pesticides and pollution all commingle together to create poor indoor air quality and exacerbate symptoms for allergy and asthma sufferers.
