How Clean is The Air in Your Home?

     Something to ponder:  How clean is the air in your home?  Are you always feeling tired ,head stuffy, headaches, stomach upset, essentially lousy ...?  You probably blame it on allergies.  Because you are too busy to go to the doctor you take antihistamines and don't even realize that they do not work.
     There is a connection to the quality of air and your list of ailments.  Between organic contaminants like fungi(mold), germs, bacteria, viruses, and indoor pollution coming from the myriad of things you own such as carpeting, furniture, cleaning chemicals, constructions materials, shampoo etc. , the air is not fresh and invigorating.  Considering we spend over 90% of our time indoors, it is no wonder we get sick.  How about lighting up a cigarette in the house.  Over 4,000 chemicals in a cigarette. It blackens the walls and hangs out on the walls, furniture, ceiling.  Sixty- nine carcinogens exist in cigarette smoke alone.
     There are things you can do.  Carpeting is loaded with chemicals.  Replace with hardwood floors.  Limit your cleaning products.  Store as many chemical sand construction materials in the garage that can be stored.  Limit the beauty collection.  Throw out or donate things you no longer use.  Smoke outside away from children. Do not use any air fresheners.  A match works in the bathroom to eliminate odors.  Crack the bathroom window and leave the door open after a shower.
     Clean the air.  Newer technology in air cleaning is readily available.  Hepa filtration mold air purifiers are a must.  A powerful 99.97% of contaminants are removed.  Negative ion generators duplicate nature and produce fresh, invigoration air.  Ultraviolet air purifiers penetrate the cell walls or organic contaminants and destroy.  UAV purifiers are especially recommended for folks with asthma, COPD and any other respiratory problem.  Electrostatic air purifiers us the "corona discharge" creating an electromagnetic field to add a charge to atoms that pass through.  Since opposites attract, they bind together and fall to the floor or are attracted to the charged plates on the purifier.  Some companies sell purifiers with all the above components:  hepa, negative ion, ultraviolet air, and electrostatic air purifiers.
     Dehumidify your basement with a dehumidifier for basement to stop mold and other contaminants from growing in the basement.  Check the attic for leaks.  Some folks do not go in the attic for extended periods of time or not at all. Air quality is certainly effected by what is growing in the basement.  Take out any wet things out of the basement.  Check the roof and clean otu the gutters.  If the gutters get jammed with debris, ice dams form and water worked its way under the shingles and into the house.
     Open the windows and let fresh air in.  The air is cleaner outside except for the city.  Keep drapes open to let the sun in.  Small things make a difference to air quality.
     Use a only a hepa vacuum.  Older vacuums let what was vacuumed back into the air.  Hepa filtration is very effective at removing surface contaminants.  Empty vacuum outside.
