Unclean Ducts and Vents in Homes & Offices Contribute to Ill Health
Many people are unaware that their homes, offices and factories could be making them ill. Respiratory conditions including asthma, allergies and skin conditions like eczema can be significantly exacerbated by the presence of dust, pollen, animal dander and dust mites.
Levels of air pollution inside the home can be three to five times worse than exterior air, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) found. Household dust commonly contains dust mites, pollen, mold, mildew, pollen and animal dander, all of which is cycled through the air by air-conditioning units and furnaces up to five times daily.
Did you know that the CDC (Center for Disease Control) has calculated that there may be as many as 100,000 dust mites living in every square yard of carpet? That’s a veritable army of tiny pests. An allergy to dust mites may be evidenced by the following symptoms: sneezing; runny or blocked nose; itchy nose, mouth, or throat; red, itchy or watery eyes; coughing; post-nasal drip. Fortunately, we can help minimize this problem using our state-of-the-art deep cleaning techniques.
The American College of Allergists stated that “50% of all illness is either caused or aggravated by polluted indoor air”. The Ear, Nose and Throat Institute recently added, “not only can pet dander cause itchy eyes and a runny nose, but pet dander can potentially be harmful to your respiratory system.”
