Elkridge’s Indoor Air Quality Professionals
Many people worry about the effects of pollution on the air outside, but don’t consider the cleanliness of indoor air. It’s easy for potentially harmful substances to build up in the air in your home. For example, pollen, pet dander, dust, and mold can trigger allergic reactions. You may be able to reduce your symptoms by using an air filtration system to remove these allergens.
You can also use UV lights and electronic air cleaners to sterilize, freshen, and deodorize the air in your home. UV lights kill bacteria and viruses, while other air cleaning solutions ionize and remove odor-causing particles.
Another important aspect of indoor air quality is humidity. During winter, it’s common for heating systems to dry out the air in the home. Breathing very dry air can cause irritation to the airways. Dry air may also contribute to eye or skin irritation. You can get some relief by installing a humidifier to add moisture back into the air.
