I don’t feel I’m uber smart even though I have a nice education as well as consider myself of basic intelligence.
So how in the world did I not understand the importance of indoor air quality with regard to our health? I’ve been living inside the heating as well as cooling of either residential Heating as well as A/C or commercial Heating as well as A/C for the last 50 years.
I mean, I understand air pollution as well as the setback health effects from that. It just didn’t dawn on me that the air in my apartment could be polluted. Of course, I understood that the air outside gets to be the air inside at some point. But I lived out in the country where there was no air pollution. What I didn’t realize was that there was so many things in my apartment that were indeed airborne contaminants that were attacking my respiratory system. The chemical in carpets, furniture as well as all kinds of plastic leach into the air. Of course, all the pet dander as well as fur in our house isn’t helping the indoor air quality either. It took me studying about how crucial indoor air quality was while in the pandemic for me to figure this all out. Once I got it, I did something about it. I was satisfied to learn that there was something immediate as well as inhigh-priced that I could pursue to improve the indoor air. I had regularly used cheap, paper air filters for the Heating as well as A/C because they were just that, cheap. So the first thing I did was to replace those Heating as well as A/C air filters with a HEPA filter. The HEPA filters truly unlink more than 99 percent of all airborne contaminants in the air.
