Would you believe the air inside your home is more polluted than the air outside - in some cases 100 times dirtier? And that new homes usually have poorer indoor air quality than older homes?
Newer homes are designed and built tighter to increase energy efficiency and reduce air leakage. That's great in terms of saving money, but we also trap everything in the air, like the VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) that off-gas from furniture and building materials, mould, allergens, pet dander, dust mites and the residual odours from cooking and pets. And that bad air can lead toallergic reactions and health concerns.
We need to make sure the air in our homes is as clean as it can be - and that means removing as many pollutants, such as particles and gases, as we can. Particles are made up from dust, pollen, pet dander, soot from smoke, dust mites and mould spores. Gases come from VOCs and from the combustion of stoves, fireplaces and furnaces.
