Improving Indoor Air Quality in Your
Home Important For Health and Safety of Atlanta Homeowners
(Atlanta, GA) February 1, 2010 --
Who would think indoor air Quality can be hazardous to your health Indoor air-- a pollutant? Unfortunately, that
is often the case, said Steve Samson, President of Roswell HVAC by Premier Indoor. Premier Indoor Comfort
Systems is an Atlanta based specialist in Indoor Air Quality. The American Lung Association estimates that most
people spend 90 percent of their time indoors, making indoor air quality (IAQ) extremely important.
Some of the most effective
solutions for poor indoor air quality may involve heating and cooling systems. Electronic air cleaners (EACs)
and high-efficiency air filters can assist in absorbing particles that otherwise would escape due to their size.
EACs and high-efficiency filters help clean the air and provide respiratory relief by removing dust, dirt, and
pollen. Other products that are available include humidifiers, carbon monoxide detectors, heat recovery
ventilators, and air purifiers. A good source of information on all of these products can be found at www.

"Thankfully, there are things a
homeowner can do to help alleviate potential IAQ concerns. The first step toward improving indoor air quality is
to identify the sources of air pollutants," said Samson. "Eliminating or reducing these sources are the most
effective ways to clean the air. Although it is not possible to eliminate every contaminant source, reducing the
sources and/or the amount of pollutants they emit, will contribute to a healthier living environment."Exposure
to air pollutants can be up to 100 times higher indoors than outdoors. Many common household items contribute to
poor indoor air quality Compounds found in carpeting, furniture, upholstery, and drapery fabric constantly emit
fumes. Other sources of pollutants can include cleaning agents, paints, and personal care
products.
The tight construction of today’s
homes also contributes significantly to poor Indoor Air Quality. Things like weather-stripping and storm doors
are designed to save on energy costs. However, they also prevent
proper ventilation by keeping indoor air in and outdoor air out. The result can be a build-up of contaminants
within the home.
Poor IAQ can be the cause of
numerous health problems. Medical groups report that as many as half of all illnesses are caused or aggravated
by indoor air pollution. Pollutants within the home can cause homeowners to suffer from flu-like symptoms such
as headaches, nausea, and respiratory irritation. Two health problems that can be helped by clean indoor air are
allergies and asthma. Even people who have never suffered from
allergies can benefit from improved IAQ. By removing airborne dust particles from the air, the amount of
exposure they have on the respiratory system is greatly reduced.
