If you
didn't already know, your home's air supply could be more
contaminated than even the dirtiest of cities. While indoor air
pollution can come from a variety of places, these three sources seem
to be the biggest culprits.
Household Cleaning Products
Cleaning products make your home cleaner, right? Not necessarily. The
truth is, many commercial cleaners actually contain harmful chemicals
that release into the air when used. Surprisingly enough, the worst
kind of cleaning products are air fresheners. They don't “freshen”
your air at all, they just mask it with dangerous toxins.
Air Ducts
Air ducts are an afterthought for most homeowners, but they are
actually harboring all kinds of pollutants and allergens. It is not
uncommon to find high levels of dust, pollen, mold, and pet dander in
home air ducts. Once these particles make their way into your ducts,
they can use them as a transportation system to spread through the
rest of your home.
Crawl Space
If your home is built atop a crawl space, it could be greatly
impacting the air quality of your home. In fact, up to 50% of your
first floor's air supply comes from your crawl space. As we have
discussed in the past, many crawl spaces suffer from humidity
problems – which often leads to mold growth. This is bad news, as
exposure to mold spores can cause asthma attacks, allergic reactions,
and respiratory infections.
