John Bower, Founder, Healthy House Institute says, “Walking into a modern building can sometimes be compared to placing your head inside a plastic bag filled with toxic fumes.”
- Why? Because the air handler and duct work whose job it is to circulate either cool or warm air through your home can often be breeding grounds for:
- Bacteria and other infectious agents
- Allergens such as animal dander, dust & pollen
- Mold and fungi
Even the most spotless home will contain some of these substances since only two conditions are essential to support growth of potentially dangerous bacteria and mold: nutrients and moisture. Recent studies conducted in home and office buildings in the northern US and Canada show 30-50% have damp conditions that may encourage the growth and buildup of biological pollutants.
So, what’s in the air YOU’RE BREATHING? What you don’t know CAN cost you!
