Air quality doesn’t begin or end with a thorough cleaning of the system and it’s components. You must take into account the relative humidity and the composition of the indoor air. Here is the main components that make up our air.

•Nitrogen -- N2 -- 78.084%

  • Oxygen -- O2 -- 20.9476%
  • Argon -- Ar -- 0.934%
  • Carbon Dioxide -- CO2 -- 0.0314%

according to the EPA indoor air quality can be 2-5 times more polluted than outside air. In some cases up to 100 times more polluted. This is why it’s crucial to consult with a indoor air specialist. With the increase in building efficient air tight homes, offices, and buildings we trap gasses and pollution indoors. Bringing in fresh, filtered, and conditioned outside air is vital. Let’s take carbon dioxide into account, on average carbon dioxide makes up .04% of our outside air. When indoors we breathe in oxygen and exhale large amounts of carbon dioxide. This increase in carbon dioxide has been shown to affect our focus, concentration, and overall mood. When indoor air quality affects our personal health there’s a term for this called sick building syndrome. Often times we talk about sick building syndrome affecting our offices, manufacturers, and institutions. We usually don’t take into account our personal homes when considering sick building syndrome.
