2-5X MORE POLLUTANTS INDOORS! SOME CASES UP TO 100X!
The very things that we do to conserve our energy also stop the natural processes that clean our air out doors. Here are 3 of the processes that happen naturally out doors.
VENTILATION
Ventilation is the intentional introduction of outdoor air into a space. (Obviously)
IONIZATION
Ionization happens when we have action days outside, rain, wind, lightning, water falls, solar energy. Ionization causes particles in the air to take on positive and negative ions, essentially becoming magnets, getting attracted together becoming to heavy and then gravity does its work and the particles drop out of the air. This is how our air is filtered naturally!
UV
We are often concerned by UV. Energy from the Sun. Ultraviolet Light waves are an extremely important part of the process of keeping our air clean outside. Different waves perform different functions. Some waves will sterilize virus’s and germs, others will break oxidize gas’s and VOC’s rendering them harmless.
The issue we now have in our homes its that none of these processes happen naturally inside, and now that we have tightened up our homes to make it so energy efficient, even the wraps and glues that we use to seal up our homes are trapped inside as well as the pollution given off by our own bodies by the things we need to do, cooking, bathing and so on.
HELP!!!
No need to panic! By golly we have had enough of that lately! I am going to present in a series of articles some of the ways that we can use these same process’ to clean up the air in our homes and make our houses a safer and more comfortable place to be!
