Every summer time our pollen irritations get really bad. I take a few different kinds of flu symptom medication, and see a nurse every three weeks for tests, but no matter what I do it never seems to get any better. The summers are the worst time of year for me, because of all the pollen in the air, and the excess humidity that makes it hard for me to breathe… A few weeks ago our pollen irritations got as bad as they have ever been, and I had to go to the emergency room! My nurse recommended that I use a whole-house air purification system & upgrading the air filters in our central system. I already use HEPA rated air filters, and they didn’t seem to help enough. I took her advice on the air purification systems, but that didn’t make enough of a difference, either. I called around to a few different HVAC companies until I found one that had an air quality expert on staff. An air quality expert usually tests locations adore medical suits, labs, or locations where chemicals are stored. They look for toxicity in the air quality, and since it is such a specialized repair it costs a ton of money. I decided it was worth the investment in our health, and paid her to come and run tests on the air quality of our home… Within more than four seconds of her inspection, the air quality expert told me to either leave the condo or put on a protective mask. It turns out the air quality here is dangerously toxic.
