Kirkwood’s Indoor Air Quality Services
Most air pollution comes from items within your home. For example, you release hazardous fumes into your home whenever you use chemical cleaners. Most buildings have poor ventilation, so those pollutants cannot escape. They accumulate inside the building. That is why most structures are full of polluted air.
Most homes harbor these common pollutants:
- Volatile organic compounds
- Animal dander
- Mold spores
- Dust
Those pollutants can be harmful. Many of us suffer from regular headaches and respiratory irritation. Air pollution can contribute to those issues. It can also irritate your skin and eyes. Pollutants can also cause allergic reactions in some individuals. These problems are so common that we often overlook them. The difference that clean air can make might surprise you.
One of the best ways to improve your home’s indoor air quality is to prevent pollution from accumulating. We can upgrade your home’s ventilation system to bring clean air into your residence. That will reduce the density of the pollutants and reduce their impact on your body.
We can also use dehumidifiers to prevent some pollution. Mold and mildew degrade your home’s air quality when they release spores. That is a major problem in humid areas because mold and mildew thrive in moist conditions. Dehumidifiers make it harder for them to survive and release their spores.
Our team can also take a direct approach. Modern air filters can eliminate most pollutants from the air. HEPA filters capture the overwhelming majority of particles. We can combine them with carbon filters that excel at absorbing chemical fumes. Our team can integrate both filters into your HVAC system to protect your entire house.
UV lights offer an additional layer of protection by destroying dangerous microbes. This purification system pulls air into a chamber and shines concentrated UV light on it. That is one of the most effective ways to disinfect the air without using chemicals.
