According to the Environmental Protection Agency, 10% of all colds are caught outdoors
while 90% are caught indoors! We’ve all watched helplessly as a cold virus passed from one member of the family to another.
The
Environmental Protection Agency reports that the air inside your home can be up to 70 times more polluted than the outdoor environment. One reason for this is that the duct work in your home is full of
microbial contaminants such as bacteria, viruses, mold and spores. These germs
are alive and thriving inside your
HVAC system and can pollute the indoor air of your home or office.
The airborne germs adversely affect the indoor air quality as they are blown past the furnace or air conditioning filter and circulated throughout your home
or office.
Perhaps, despite your desperate attempts to dust more, keep the windows closed, clean your bedding, clothing, carpeting and furniture more frequently,
you still catch and transmit illnesses inside your home.
