The place we call home, our castle is making us = miserable, and we don't even realize it! It's Crazy! Ask Yourself the following questions... a.. How many members in your family wake up with a runny nose and = itchy eyes? b.. How many members in your family are taking an allergy = medicine? c.. Moreover, how many times have your children missed school = because of allergic reactions to indoor allergens, and your taking them = to the doctor more than usual? Mold spores, bacteria, and mildew thrive in dampened towels, wash = cloths, and moist or humid areas. Your bathroom is a breeding ground for = bacteria. It is estimated that 60-70% of all Americans suffers from allergies, = headaches and more serious asthma. We participate in activities with our friends. We bring our children to = gatherings and sports events. We send them to day care. In fact we subject ourselves (and our children) to more allergens and = bacteria on a daily basis. Take for instance doing our laundry. Clothes = are stored in a place where bacteria festers. We then pull all the = clothes out of the hamper where we stir up the air sending thousands of = dust particles into the air and bring them to the washer where we = separate them then use detergents (with bleach) that put a perfume into = the clothes that we wear and breathe!! And this is perfectly acceptable (NOT!). But we have to have a life! = Yes, we do and if we were paranoid about all this no one would have a = life! But this is not my point... Doing nothing about polluting our = indoor air is not the answer. Taking precautions help, and helps a lot! For years I wondered why my daughter constantly had a stuffy nose and = frequent ear aches. We took her to the doctor who was exacting on = diagnosis and treatment but did little else to help us solve the = problem. It wasn't until I got ill that I looked into our INDOOR = environment! What is going into your lungs? While you are probably saying "this is old news, my home is as clean as = a whistle", my question is why has the EPA rated indoor air as the #1 = pollution concern? Let me count the ways... "I've had an Air purifier in my home since 1995, and it's all but = eliminated my wife's allergy attacks and helped enormously with my son's = asthma. He hardly ever uses an inhaler now." M. Sisco, Maine Airborne pet dander, dried saliva from your best friend that breaks off = the end of their hair and floats in air since they are so small is a = common trigger for allergies and asthma. In addition, the feces from = your pet emits added contaminates into the air as well. How many times = has your best friend put his mark on your rug? Or worse, ever clean a = cat litter box? Up to 80% or the airborne particles that you see floating in a ray of = sunlight consist of some of the 100,000 dead skin cells we shed, and, = they just are not ours either! Consider your family and friends. In addition, what about the "floaters" you see in your coffee at your = favorite restaurant? Where do they come from? About 40 pounds of dust is generated per 1,500 square feet of home space = every year. Each speck of dust carries about 40,000 dust mites and other = illness-causing bacteria and viruses. Insects and bugs feces are also a powerful allergen. How much more = susceptible to asthma are children living in homes that are not = thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis (using biodegradable and = hypoallergenic cleaning solutions)? Dust mites, comprise over 50% of the weight of the average pillow, and = this is where we place our head for 8-hours every night! Air ducts serve as a fertile breeding ground for mold spores, and we use = cheap filters to keep the furnace clean (hey, here's a point we have = missed for over 40 years...The filter in most furnaces helps to keep = your furnace free from dust and debris so that the blower does not = become damaged!). Well, I suppose that was "OK" 40 years ago when homes = had little insulation. We literally poison the air we breathe with chemical fumes and toxins = such as cleaning products, hair spray, spray deodorant, scented = deodorizers, do-it-yourself furniture restoration kits, etc., etc. Smoking in the home leaves the air being breathed dense with over 3600 = cancer-causing toxins. These toxins also cling to the clothing we wear, = and release when we enter other homes and buildings. Ever smell your = clothing after you have been walking in the big city? Do they smell of = car exhaust and other pollution? Wear them for a few days and you get a = triple dose of pollutants... So what do we do? It's amazing! We go through our daily lives accepting the air we = breathe in our work and home. We are so busy making a living, and = because we have been educated we accept our illnesses as they are and do = little to prevent them. Whoever coined the expression "an ounce of = prevention is worth a pound of cure" hit the nail right on the head. The = first action we must take is to prevent as much as we can. ...take = charge of our indoor air... We can take charge of our indoor air and control as many of the = allergens and toxic fumes as possible. Remember, we spend one third of = our daily lives indoors, sleeping. Our household furnishings spend all = their time "out gassing" the chemical fumes so... Start by getting an "air purifier"; A device that purifies the air, not = a filter. a.. If you have asthma or bad allergies, watch when the pollen = counts are high and avoid being outside during those times. b.. Avoid wood stoves and do not allow anyone to smoke inside your = home. c.. If you have pets, do not let them in your bedroom. d.. Bathrooms must be ventilated to avoid trapping moisture that = becomes a breeding ground for mold. e.. Put pillows and mattresses in allergen protective covers and use = your air purifier to sanitize them prior to covering. f.. Use non-toxic cleaners where possible. I've Got Central Air, so I'm good. Buzzz...wrong answer! Many people feel central air is all that is = needed in their home to provide their living space with clean air. The = truth is that is just a starting point. Moreover, most of us who live = in older homes don't have central air, so how do we start cleaning our = indoor air? Quite simply, don't become paranoid, Get an air purifier, = follow the list above and get on the EPA's mailing list or go to their = web site for more information. Q & A Q What is an air purifier and how does it differ from an air cleaner? = A Simply put, an air purifier takes pollutants out of your indoor air = without filters or harmful chemicals. A blend of science and technology = that can cleanse the air inside your home. There is way too much science to try and explain it so the best way to = describe it is what is called a "thunderstorm in a box". The affect a thunderstorm has on outdoor air is what my air purifier = does. I have been using one for over 3 years and quite frankly I won't = shut it off. But don't take my word for it. Try it yourself, free.
