Indoor Air Quality |
Indoor Air QualityThe E.P.A. estimates that the air inside our homes is up to 5 times more polluted than the air we breathe outside. Our new Air Advice Monitoring System tests the air quality in your home and lets you know what areas are of concern. This compact, multi sensor monitor continually measures temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, VOC's and airborne particles. We are offering a limited number of FREE air quality tests. In order to receive your free indoor air quality screening. Just click here to schedule an estimate. As you enter your information you will see a blank for estimate type. Select air purification and under comments mention the website offer for a free Air Advice screening. |

Particles and Productivity Nitrogen Dioxide Levels and Gas Ovens Candles and Incense  Particles and Productivity Indoor particles may stem from outdoor-to-indoor transport, human activities such as cooking or smoking, and chemical reactions in the air and on surfaces. On inhalation, particles can deposit in the respiratory tract where they are suspected of triggering discomfort and symptoms of respiratory illnesses, headache, and fatigue. Studies have found a strong correlation between the prevalence and intensity of such symptoms and office productivity.  Nitrogen Dioxide Levels and Gas Ovens A recent study examined nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and volatile organic compounds in 876 homes. It was found that compared to outdoor levels, nitrogen dioxide levels were higher in homes with gas cooking and highest in urban homes, older homes, smokers' homes, and especially those homes with a combination of these factors. The World Health Organization's air quality guideline for annual exposure to nitrogen dioxide was exceeded in more than 50% of kitchens that had gas ovens. Candles and Incense  Approximately 300 million candles are sold in the US each year.
It is estimated that at least 3 million of those have wicks that contain lead. Depending on the amount of candle burning activity and indoor room conditions,
lead concentrations in excess of both environmental and occupational standards could occur. While the primary danger is from inhalation, lead-bearing fine particles in
household dust are a secondary source for babies and toddlers crawling or playing on the floor.Burning a single candle can easily raise the room concentration above the ambient air lead concentration limits set by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Burning Multiple candles can elevate it above the Occupation Safety and Health Administration's (OHSA) permissible exposure limits. Burning incense emits fine particulate matter in large quantities compared to other indoor sources. The EPA measured fine particulate matter emissions for 23 different types of incense. An indoor air quality model showed that burning incense at home can cause indoor concentrations of fine particulate matter to far exceed the EPA standard. |
