Indoor Air Quality
Indoor AIR includes outdoor allergens and irritants that Flow indoors as well as unique Indoor factors
Tracking outdoor weather, pollution, and pollen conditions I observed statistics that mentioned that only 10% of person’s time was spent outdoors. However, ironically our indoor air quality is often a product of the infiltration of allergen and irritant exposures from outdoors as well as internal factors.
Allergen and irritant exposures including radon, CO2, VOC’s, and mold present indoors as well as the temperature and humidity can be monitored using emerging air quality monitors. DailyBreath is partnered with Airthings to support the monitoring of indoor air quality for those with asthma. Airthings Wave Plus (includes radon and CO2), while the Wave Mini (include mold risk).
COVID-19 has impacted indoor air quality issues a couple of ways. 1st, because the virus is aerolized with droplets present in the air, the virus could be present in your home if a resident or guest has had the coronavirus. 2nd, because of coronavirus restrictions people are spending much more time indoors and it’s quite possible that poor indoor air quality is becoming apparent the longer time is spent indoors. Everything from air conditioning circulation to indoor temperature and humidity are being scrutinized for their impacts on a residents’ health.
Our central air conditioning involves a circulation of air indoors and filters show the ugly particulates that often gather. Ironically, people are often negligent to change their filters, often going months, even years without changing a filter.
Traditional air purifiers attempt to clean the air using similar filtering technology. Uniquely, DailyBreath has partnered with Molekule because of its innovative air purification technology that actually destroys particulates, even including the COVID-19 virus.
