In the past 20 years, an emerging and expanding body of evidence has shown that 室内空气质量 对人类健康有巨大影响. 更加的婴儿, 老年人, and persons with chronic diseases-typically spend 90% of their time indoors where they can be exposed to very high levels of air pollutants.
室内空气质素资料
- People spend 75-90% of their time indoors
- Exposure to airborne contamination is considerable
- 50% of all major office buildings have contaminated heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems (HVAC). If not properly maintained, they are a hotbed for growth of molds and 细菌.
- Each person inhales over 3,500 gallons of air each day. Children inhale more particles for their size than adolescents or adults.
- Polluted air causes 94% of all respiratory problems
- More than 31 million Americans have been diagnosed with asthma, about 1/3 are children under 18.
- About 40,000 dust mites, a common household allergen, can live in one ounce of dust
- An estimated 10-15% of the entire population may be allergic to cat or dog dander.
- A person sheds up to 700,000 skin flakes per day.
更糟糕的是,它是不健康的. 50 million Americans suffer from allergies and 20 million have asthma. Tighter building envelopes in the quest for greater energy efficiency are making things worse. We spend most of our time indoors, surrounded by the indoor air pollutants. The larger pollutants (less than 10 microns; a human hair is 30 to 120 microns in diameter) are caught in our noses and throats. Smaller pollutants are inhaled into our lungs where they can remain trapped for years.
约翰L. 柯克伍德, President and CEO of the American Lung Association® says, “Keeping the air in your home clean is particularly important for people with asthma or allergies, but the quality of indoor air is something all Americans should be concerned about.——美国肺脏协会®
你会做什么?
Three ways to fight indoor air pollution:
源控制
The starting point for a home 室内空气质量 strategy is source control. 是有意义的. If you can control a pollutant before it becomes airborne, you’re ahead of the game. Source control strategies include the use of low emission paints, 清漆, 和地毯, 禁止吸烟, 没有宠物, 保持最佳湿度水平, 定期清洁, and regular servicing of combustion appliances, 如炉. Unfortunately, you cannot always control pollutant sources.
用你的 十大靠谱彩票平台 to control humidity in the summer and a duct mounted humidifier in the winter. 每年秋天都要检修一下炉子. 最经济的方法 维护 is a Central 加热 and 十大靠谱彩票平台 service agreement.
通风
After source control, comes fresh air ventilation. According to the EPA, the air inside your home is far worse than outside air. Yet, when it’s really hot or really cold, who’s going to open the windows? 它让人不舒服，而且负担不起.
There is a solution for some homes that improves fresh ventilation without the comfort or energy costs. It’s called an energy recovery ventilator. Not only can it improve air quality, it can actually reduce utilities in certain circumstances.
空气净化
The third way to fight indoor air pollution is air cleaning. Do not buy the cheap tabletop and gadget air cleaners you hear advertised. 他们是在浪费钱. According to an American Lung Association® report, “The reviewed data provide little reason to endorse the use of inexpensive tabletop, 家用电器类型的空气清洁剂, 不管他们使用什么技术. In general, high-efficiency particle collection requires larger filters or electronic air cleaners.”
Air cleaning is recognized as one of the three strategies to improve 室内空气质量 and has become increasingly popular as specific populations of individuals attempt to improve the air quality in their residences and immediate environs to relieve symptoms associated with various diseases such as asthma, 鼻炎, 鼻窦炎, 过敏性呼吸道疾病.
We recommend a whole-house approach with a duct mounted UV light and either a HEPA filtration system or an electronic air cleaner. What’s appropriate for your home depends on your budget, comfort system, and family. 美国肺脏协会®报告
