Ever consider Who Is Responsible ?

International Day of Peace and Indoor Air Health

Ever consider who is responsible for the safety and health in your home?

Food — Health Canada assures food safety
Water — your municipality purifies your water, unless you are on a well
Shelter — your municipality assures compliance to codes; utility providers look after gas & electricity
Air — You are responsible for the air quality inside of your family’s home

So How Healthy is Your Home’s Indoor Air? Is it Disinfected? Sterilized? Outside, Mother Nature constantly purifies the air we breathe. Rain, wind and lightning purify outdoor air by removing particles and other impurities. Ultraviolet energy from the sun purifies air by removing germs, odours, gases and other contaminants. The result is clean, pure, healthy air. These processes are not present in our homes. In fact, in chasing energy efficiency, we sealed our homes and prevented Mother Nature from coming in.

Without proper ventilation and air cleaning systems, pollutants get trapped inside of our homes and circulate all day long. A typical central heating and cooling system like the one in your home recirculates over a million cubic feet of air each day, air which includes dust, germs and viruses that we breathe over and over again. The warm and humidified environment inside of your home tends to be an incubator for organisms. On average, a person takes up to 23,000 breaths each day; that’s a lot of contaminated air filling your lungs, affecting your body.

On a side note, did you know that disinfecting wipes actually require 10 minutes of dwell time to kill bugs as advertised? Also, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, hand washing mechanically removes pathogens, while laboratory data demonstrate that 60% ethanol and 70% isopropanol inactivate viruses that are genetically related to, and with similar physical properties as, the 2019-nCoV.

Back to air: how can you disinfect or sterilize the air that recirculates through your home? The solution is to treat the cause, not the symptoms, with a complete indoor air cleaning strategy controlling all kinds of airborne contaminants, creating cleaner, fresher and healthier indoor air environment.

Part of the solution relies on the continuous application of a botanical (i.e., non-smelly, harmless to your family) disinfectant to your heating and cooling system. Another element relies on using high-output specialized ultraviolet energy systems that sterilize bugs dead. This is the same technology as cities use to treat water and hospitals use to sterilize. There is more!

With components added to your existing system, a proper air cleaning system will provide clean air inside your home just like Mother Nature does outside: safe, healthy and reliable indoor air to enjoy with your family and friends. Does your system?
