New research on indoor air quality reveals
the startling fact that merely walking on
your Ohio home's carpet can release
potentially harmful particles into the air.
These particles, when inhaled, lodge
themselves in your lungs, potentially
contributing to health problems like asthma.
The most surprising finding of the research?
That walking on carpet and sitting on
furniture released as many fine particles as
vacuuming.
This research hints at a much larger
problem: poor indoor air quality in the
homes of most consumers. Most homes harbor
an alarming assortment of potentially toxic
chemicals and substances. Carpet particles,
as mentioned in this research, are usually
made from synthetic fibers derived from
petroleum. Their impact on the lungs is
largely unknown.
Finding the source of these contaminants is
the key to better indoor air quality. Design
Air technicians can pinpoint the problem
area and offer a remedy.
