Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Q. What can be done to improve indoor air quality?

Based on studies by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), billions of dollars are spent annually for medication to help Americans breathe or cure their respiratory illnesses. Eleven million Americans have asthma, and twenty-eight million suffer from hay fever and other allergies. Physicians are now discovering that the solution to many of these problems lies in reducing airborne pollutants.

Every year at least 6,000 new chemical compounds are developed. Many are used indoors every day, at home and at work. Add to these pollutants the mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses, tobacco smoke, grease, pollen, dirt, asbestos, lead and numerous other contaminants that can affect our breathing and health. Then allow them to re-circulate throughout today's nearly airtight indoor environments. No wonder indoor air is, on average, two to ten times as polluted as the worst outdoor air.

Viruses and bacteria that thrive in the ducts, coils, and recesses of building ventilation systems have been proven to cause ailments ranging from influenza to tuberculosis. Some heating and air conditioning systems have been found to contain up to twenty-seven species of fungi.

60% of all allergies are caused by mold

(World Health Organization)

Mold grows in virtually every air conditioner (EPA)

Ozone is very effective at killing mold (International Ozone Association)

Tests have shown that common household bacteria, mold, mildew, and fungus are greatly reduced by the addition of as little as 50 ppb (parts per billion) of ozone in typical household environments.

Pathogens such as, but not limited to, E-Coli, Salmonella Choleraesuis, Staphylococcus Aureua, Candida Albicans, and Aspergillus Niger have been shown to have drastic dramatic reductions in population in independent laboratory tests.

Based on information given at the First Annual Air Quality convention sponsored by EPA, April 1992, Tampa, Florida:

• 40% of all buildings pose a serious health hazard due to indoor air pollution, according to the World Health Organization.

• EPA estimates an 18% annual production loss to American business due to poor indoor air quality.

• 20% of all employees have a major illness related to indoor air pollution such as allergies, asthma, auto-immune diseases, etc.

• EPA says high levels of formaldehyde cause cancer

• Scientists now recognize that pollutants, even at acceptable concentration, have a synergistic negative effect when combined together in an indoor environment.

A. The answer is use ozone and odor elimination products to ensure clean, fresh, and germ free environment.

Do you suffer from sinusitis, chronic sinusitis, or sick sinus syndrome, conditions caused primarily by mold?

"Molds have been an under recognized health problem, but that is changing. Health-care professionals now know that molds can cause allergies, trigger asthma attacks and increase susceptibility to colds and flu. Anyone with a genetic predisposition can become allergic if exposed repeatedly to high enough levels.

"Last year Dr. David Sherris at the Mayo Clinic performed a study of 210 patients with chronic sinus infections and found that most had allergic fungal sinusitis. The prevailing medical opinion has been that mold accounted for 6 to 7 percent of all chronic sinusitis. [The Mayo Clinic study] found that it was 93 percent—the exact reverse."

Asthma Advice, Relief, and Cure

Asthma from Mold

For millions of Americans, taking a breath is a major task. The culprit, asthma, affects more than 17 million Americans, including five million children. Asthma is a chronic disease in which air flow in and out of the lungs is impeded by swelling, constriction, and inflammation of the bronchial tubes, as was well as excess mucus production within those tubes. The airways of all people constrict when exposed to certain irritants like pollen, pollutants or some drugs. People without asthma can usually make the airways relax again quickly just by taking deep breaths. People with asthma cannot do that.

Patients my find their condition triggered or worsened by several factors, which can be allergic or non-allergic in nature. Allergic asthma means that asthma symptoms become more intense, perhaps even result in an "asthma attack," when the individual is exposed to allergens to which their immune system is sensitive. The inflamed airways of asthmatics are sometimes described as "twitchy", and inhaling pollens, molds, animal dander or other allergens can cause the airways to become even more inflamed, produce mucus and constrict. Most asthma in children is allergic in nature.

With non-allergic asthma, sufferers' symptoms worsen when they are around certain irritants, such as viruses, weather changes, air pollution, strong odors, anxiety, or other triggers Those irritants do not a cause a reaction in the immune system as allergens do. Still they can exacerbate symptoms for asthmatics. Courtesy of the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology
