Why you should care about your indoor air

If you care about your family’s health, you should care about the quality of the air inside your home. Allergies, illness, and long-term health can all be affected either in a positive or negative fashion depending on the quality of the air inside your home. According to the Environmental Protection Agency the air inside your home can be 2 to 10 times worse than the outside air. It is difficult for our immune system to keep up with the abundance of particles, germs and gases that are locked inside the tight, energy-efficient homes that are built with today's construction methods.

Think about this: You know how when you see the sun’s rays streaming through a window and you can see all of the dust floating around in the sunbeam? There are millions of microscopic particles that float around in the air all the time. And those in the sunbeam are the ones that are actually big enough to see. Ninety eight percent of all airborne particles measure below 1 micron in size and are invisible.

So imagine breathing all of those in. Your body’s lungs are like a filter. They will filter out the larger particles, yet these smallest of particles that are potentially the most injurious to your health pass right through. ECO Healthy Home “protects your air space” by clearing the air inside your home of harmful particles, biohazards such as viruses, and gases from chemicals.

COVID-19

The CDC/EPA, reports that viruses like Sars-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, are spread through large respiratory aerosols that can land on surfaces and smaller aerosols that can stay suspended in the air from a few hours to over a day. The CDC encourages us to follow their guidelines by social distancing, washing hands, and cleaning household surfaces to reduce the impact of these larger aerosols. Epidemiologists, pulmonologists, and other medical experts also suggest that you be proactive in protecting the air space in your home from these smaller airborne viral aerosols.

Is your home making you sick?

Thousands of years ago when humans began populating the earth we lived outdoors breathing fresh air that was constantly being cleansed by Mother Nature. Thunderstorms, lightning, and ultraviolet energy from the sun continually cleansed the outdoor air. Although our outdoor air is more polluted today than it was thousands of years ago, Mother Nature is still at work keeping the outdoor air as clean as possible.
