Living things and their by-products produce biological air invaders which degrade air quality. Hot and moist places are perfect environments for this contamination to grow. They are all around us: the soil near our homes, our pets and animals, bugs, plants, fungi, viruses and bacteria. Asthma and allergy-prone are at a high health risk when these contaminates are trapped in the home. Biological pollutants will irritate the body and cause coughing, shortness of breath and dizziness. There are actions you can take to improve indoor air quality. Clean throughout you house, locate breeding grounds and removing the sources. Ventilate the indoors often with outside air, manage indoor temperature and keep humidity at 50% or below. Use air filtration to reduce this risk with the Allergy Machine air purifier. This air purifier comes with medical grade High Efficiency Particulate Arresting (HEPA) filtering and an activated carbon blend designed to remove the gases and the hundreds of biological threats.

Where Contamination Lives

The invader is born, lives and dies within your home. They enter into your home when you open your windows or as particulates riding on shoes and clothing. They enter your home from wall cracks and are born from moisture. They have many sources including: dust that carry contaminations, bacteria, cat saliva, mold spores, plant pollen, cockroaches, transmitted viruses, bacteria, the dried protein from rats and mice and pet dander. Then there is the everyday mildew, insects and dust mites, the most toxic biological allergen. They all call your place home.

Moist areas are particularly attractive to biological contaminates. Where there is cycling hot and cold air, there is condensation. These breeding grounds often are found in unvented bathrooms and cooling coils. The bed we sleep in, our furniture and rugs contain air contaminating particles. Finally, biological agents can be found in standing water, hidden places under cabinets and furniture, high humidity corners and in cloth materials.

Health Impact

These invaders are health risks and do make us ill. Because they are toxins, infectious illnesses, and allergens, they can trigger allergic reactions, hypersensitivity, and asthma attacks. Measles, influenza and staphylococcus transmit through air. These invaders will cause shortness of breath, fever, dizziness, watery eyes, coughing and sneezing. You can be bed ridden with excess exposure to these air pollutants. Elderly people, children and people already at reduced health can experience more debilitating health problems and in worse cases, get lung disease and other serious illnesses.

How To Improve Air Quality

Improve indoor air quality by controlling the environment. Here are guidelines:

  • Keep your home at comfortable temperatures. Don’t let them get too high. Keep the home humidity levels below 50%.
  • Basements should be disinfected, dry, and clean. Use a dehumidifier if necessary to insure humidity levels stay below 50%.
  • Dust with a hot damp rag. Remove books, pillows and knickknacks. They gather dust. Use allergen-proof mattress encasements to keep mites contained. Clean rugs with dry steam. Vacuum with a vacuum cleaner that has a High Efficiency Particulate Arresting (HEPA) filter. Remove rugs that are not necessary. Clean bedding and cloths in water that exceeds 130° F. Clean behind cabinet and appliances. Scrub countertops, sinks and shower stalls. Use cleaners capable of removing mold and mildew, particularly where black mold can exist.
  • Where moisture can build up, use exhaust fans. Best to look at bathrooms and kitchen for proper ventilation first.
  • Ventilate with outside air by opening doors and windows to allow high contaminated indoor air out.
  • Exhaust cloth dryer to the outside.
  • Keep condensation to a minimum by venting your attic.
  • Use the Allergy Machine. The Allergy Machine will remove the tiniest of air particles and the biological invaders.
