What are the most common indoor air pollutants?

Common indoor air pollutants include:

  1. Particulate matter: Dust, pollen, pet dander, and mold spores.
  2. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Chemicals released from household products like paints, cleaning agents, and furniture.
  3. Carbon monoxide (CO): Produced by incomplete combustion from gas appliances.
  4. Radon: A naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes from the ground.
  5. Tobacco smoke: Contains numerous harmful chemicals that can linger in indoor air.
    Regular ventilation and air filtration help reduce indoor air pollutants.
Will a whole- house air purifier remove tobacco smoke and make it safe?

Whole-house air purifiers can help reduce tobacco smoke particles in indoor air, improving air quality. However, while they can effectively filter out smoke particles and odors, they may not eliminate all harmful chemicals present in tobacco smoke. It's crucial to remember that the best approach to creating a safe environment is to avoid smoking indoors altogether. Proper ventilation, air purification, and smoking outdoors help minimize health risks associated with tobacco smoke exposure.

What is the impact of pet dander on indoor air quality?

Pet dander consists of tiny, even microscopic, flecks of skin shed by cats, dogs, and other animals with fur or feathers. It can negatively impact indoor air quality by triggering allergies and asthma symptoms, such as sneezing, coughing, and respiratory issues. Dander can linger in the air and settle on surfaces, making it hard to remove. Regular cleaning, using air purifiers, and maintaining HVAC filters can help reduce pet dander and improve indoor air quality.

Remove Pollutants From the Air With Air Filters & Purifiers in Asheville, NC

One of the most obvious ways for you to improve the air quality in your Asheville, North Carolina home is to remove pollutants from the air in your house. This can be accomplished with the installation of a good air filter. While your heating and cooling system has a factory-installed air filter, your air quality problems may demand a stronger, more efficient filtration option.

There are many great, effective air filters on the market today. However, if you need a more advanced approach to particle removal you may want to consider the purchase of an electric air cleaner. These devices use more sophisticated means to remove particles from the air you breathe, such as ionization. For more information about particle removal options call Comfort Central.
