Indoor Air Quality
You want your home to be a safe haven for your family, free from the air
quality problems found in the outdoor environment. Yet you may be unaware that
indoor air quality (IAQ) can have a major effect on your family's health,
comfort, and safety as well. Common symptoms of exposure to indoor air
pollutants include fatigue, headaches, nausea, scratchy throat, and nasal
irritation.
The EPA has identified indoor air pollution as one of the
top five urgent environmental risks to public health!
Many people spend up to 90% of their time indoors. Exposure to indoor
pollutants has increased because buildings are constructed with fewer windows
and are more "airtight" than in the past, while the use of chemicals in
household cleaners, construction materials, and pest control products has
increased dramatically. You can do something about it!
Health
Regular cleaning and air filtration reduce most molds, germs, gases, dust,
and moisture.
Comfort
Balanced temperature and humidity create a cool, pleasant indoor climate in
the summer and a pleasant, cozy indoor environment in the winter.
Safety
Good ventilation and proper maintenance of your furnace, ductwork, and
exhaust systems prevents carbon monoxide poisoning and excess fumes.
We at Northern Colorado Air use the
AIR ADVICE monitor system to evaluate
your indoor air quality. The
AIR ADVICE IAQ test pinpoints air quality problems
in your home that can affect your family's health as well as their comfort and
safety. We will provide a report that describes any high levels of indoor
contaminants and a solution to those specific results. We may suggest air
purifying equipment from a variety of manufacturers depending on which product
will perform the best based on your test results.
