Poor air quality in the home can cause respiratory damage and aggrevate allergies and asthma. Preventive action and vigilance are the keys to keeping your air safe and clean.
Common appliances and home furnishing can negatively impact air quality. Today, more buyers are requesting air quality studies before sealing the deal. Increase air quality and protect the value of your home by knowing the threats. Be vigilant about these major enemies to air quality.
Radon: Odorless, colorless gas that, over time, can increase the risk of lung cancer. Test air regularly with testing kits and immediately address the root cause.
Carbon Monoxide: Poisoning from carbon monoxide gas can have fatal results. Appliances that burn gas, propane, fuel oil or wood release carbon monoxide. Install carbon monoxide detectives to monitor levels and keep your home well ventilated.
Formaldehyde vapor Pressed wood products like cabinetry and furniture using formaldehyde-based resins can cause irritation and are a suspected cancer-causing agent. Reduce the effects by keeping the temperature in your home below 80 degrees farenheit and opt for phenol resin products.
Asbestos: Inhaling asbestos fibers can cause serious respiratory illness. Call a professional to repair or replace asbestos-containing elements.
