Respiratory ailments, often attributed to poor indoor air quality, represent the third largest cause of death in the U.S., ranking only behind heart disease and cancer, according to the American Medical Association.
Problems with indoor air quality go beyond health related issues - productivity, absenteeism, product integrity and even one's sense of well-being may be adversely affected by poor air quality.
Individuals with health problems, such as allergies or asthma, need to be protected from poor indoor air quality, as do certain other groups such as the elderly or the very young, who may have compromised or underdeveloped respiratory systems.
One of the best ways to control contaminants is to eliminate them at the source. And one of the most effective ways to do that is to install an air purification system.
Another innovative option is a germicidal lamp. Both products attach to your furnace or air handler, where contaminants are removed and destroyed before air is recirculated into your home.
