What are you breathing in?

We think of air pollution as being smoggy, traffic filled streets and heavy industry pumping smoke into the atmosphere. But what about the air in your home or office?

Indoor contaminants can be damaging to your lungs, especially for people who suffer from asthma, lung disease or existing respiratory difficulties.

The worst culprits inside your home of office are:

• Mould and bacteria found on surfaces and inside your air conditioner
• Chemicals in cleaning products
• Gas cookers
• Pet dander an smells
• Open fires

Condensation, heat, and poor ventilation, allow bacteria and viruses to spread more easily and is an ideal environment for mould, fungus and dust mites to thrive.

Professor Tim Sharpe; a researcher with the Mackintosh Environmental Architecture Research Unit said “Modern homes are increasingly airtight and can also contain a great number of pollutants and chemicals, many of which can have serious health effects”

Keeping air purifying indoor plants such as aloe vera and mother-in-law’s tongue will help to eliminate some of the airborne toxins. Keeping carpets clean, curtains and blinds dust free and improving ventilation will also be beneficial.

Your air conditioner is a haven for mould, bacteria, pet dander, dead animals, pollen and other contaminants. You can’t always smell contaminants in the air, so protecting against them is your best line of defense.

Make sure you clean your filters every month and have your air conditioner professionally cleaned every 12 months.
