If you are like the typical person, you spend about 90% of your time indoors: at work, eating out, going to entertainment, etc. But most of that indoor time is in your home. So, you will want the air you breathe to be of high quality. There are any number of things that can deteriorate the quality of the air you breathe including, but not limited to:
- Allergens such as pollen, dust mites, and animal dander
- Bacteria
- Cigarette smoke
- Dust
- Mold
- Volatile Organic Compounds, which are carbon-based compounds emitted by building materials, cleaning supplies, paint, pesticides, etc.
Given that, you will want to keep the air in your home as clean and pure as possible. Here are the benefits.
Health Benefits
Poor air quality can have a particularly bad impact on children, the aged, and people with respiratory ailments such as asthma. So clean air can improve health in the following ways:
- Decreases allergy-related symptoms such as sneezing and itchy eyes
- Reduces respiratory irritation for everybody
- Alleviates asthma symptoms
- Improves sleep
Cost Savings
Clean air can also save you money. Filtering out contaminants can increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling systems, thus lowering energy bills.
Prevents Damage to Wood Floors and Furnishings
One way to improve air quality in the winter is to make sure there is sufficient moisture in the air. Dry air, in addition to health risks, can damage wood floors and furniture.
Increased Comfort
Clean air is also fresh air. It reduces odors from cooking, pets and other sources. And the health benefits described above will lead to increased comfort.
