DUST FACTS
-According to a study by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, indoor air contaminants are responsible for or aggravate half of all illnesses.
-Dust bits can lead to or cause symptoms of asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), fungal sinusitis, pnemonia, bronchitis and certain types of cancer.
-Children are especially vulnerable to air quality problems because they breathe at faster rates than adults-inhaling 50 percent more air per pound of body weight than adults-and are closer to ground-level dusts.
AIR CLEANER GUIDE FOR SHOPPERS
-A whole-house air cleaner attaches to your central heating and air conditioning unit, filtering the air that circulates through every room in your house. Portable air cleaners are designed to filter air in a specific room, like a bedroom.
-Some air cleaners emit ozone, an indoor air pollutant, so look for levels below the FDA ozone emissions limit for medical devices. (Read more about ozone health standards at EPA ozone standards>>)
-When considering a whole-house air cleaner, look for one that will remove the greatest percentage of particles that are small enough to cause symptoms-anything smaller than .5 microns (the size of pet dander and dust mite allergens). Some cleaners can filter particles as small as .1 microns (such as skin flakes, bacteria and some viruses). You want the most effective unit you can afford.
