What Causes Indoor Air Pollution?

When people think about air pollution, they imagine smog-filled city streets and lines of vehicles spewing exhaust. However, they rarely think that the air in their homes is dirty, but that’s often the case. So, what causes indoor air pollution?

Combustion Sources: Burning fossil fuels like gas for your stove or wood in your fireplace can release harmful pollutants like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter into the house. Tobacco smoke is another significant combustion-related pollutant that gets embedded in clothing, carpets, and furniture.
Household Cleaners: You may not realize it, but many of your favorite cleaning products are significant sources of indoor air pollution. Some products emit harsh chemicals and volatile organic compounds, irritating your eyes, nose, throat, and lungs.
Biological Contaminants: Mold, dust mites, pet dander, and pollen are among the most common indoor air pollutants. The problem is that most modern homes are tightly sealed for insulation purposes, but this prevents contaminants from escaping.

Benefits of a Whole House Air Purifier

Improved Air Quality: A whole house air filtration system filters air with your HVAC system. Unlike room-based filters that only tackle specific areas, a whole-house system ensures consistent filtration and better overall air quality.

Better Health: An air filtration system can benefit people with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues by removing irritants like pollen, dust, and pet dander, as well as volatile organic compounds. Additionally, some systems use UV light to eliminate viruses and bacteria.

Improved Energy Efficiency: Many modern air purifiers work seamlessly with your HVAC system, saving energy versus plugging in multiple standalone units.

What is a UV Air Sanitizer?

Ultraviolet or UV air purifiers use short-wave UV light to render airborne pathogens and microorganisms like mold, bacteria, and viruses inactive.

The effectiveness of a UV air sanitizer depends on various factors, such as how long the air is exposed to the UV light.
