<h1>Home Indoor Air Quality: A Huge Determinant of Health</h1>

Most people (including health professionals) agree that three of the biggest determinants of our overall level of health are genetics, environment, and diet. Indoor air quality, a big part of our personal environment, is critical because of the volume of air we take in compared to the water we drink, for example—breathing 3000 gallons of air per day versus a couple of quarts of water or other liquids per day. 

 

And what makes residential indoor air quality so important is that about 45% of this 3000 gallons of air or about 1500 gallons is in the home, where air quality is often not the best, regardless of whether we notice it or not. The fact that the EPA stated in 2011 that poor indoor air quality is among the top five current major health threats seems to have gone largely unnoticed, too, or just ignored. 

 

Often when you mention ‘home indoor air quality’, many people immediately think ‘I’ve got a good air conditioner filter so I guess it’s pretty good in my home’ or ‘I don’t feel any different so I don’t have a problem’. There are several problems with that thinking, however. First, house dust, for example, is composed of dust mites, mold spores, dander, bacteria and other things known to cause allergies and illness, and the fact you see dust on the TV and furniture should make it clear that 1) that dust in in the air that you’re breathing every day and night, and 2) the air conditioner filter must not have stopped it. Also, when you have odors in your home that tend to linger, those odors are composed of organic chemicals (VOC’s) and the fact that they linger indicates that those A/C filters aren’t removing airborne chemicals, either.

 

Second, just because we don’t notice or feel anything different doesn’t mean that the pollutants aren’t causing any problems or won’t have any effect later. Many times, we just get ‘used to’ a certain amount of allergies, fatigue, inflammation or other ailments and don’t realize that these discomforts may be caused by poor home indoor air quality. 

 

And then we have the longer term effects of breathing chemicals, bacteria and viruses on a daily basis that have been shown in research to cause everything from heart disease, cancer, leukemia, immune system disorders and much more. The simple, research-proven points about home air quality are 1) indoor air quality is a real problem in almost every home that isn’t using home air treatment products or equipment 2) air conditioner filters don’t help with air quality very much, and 3) achieving good, healthy home air quality is easily achievable by using the proper residential indoor air quality treatments and products.
