Humans spend a lot of time indoors—about 90% of their lives, according to the EPA. 

And while you may think the opposite, advancements in technology have only increased the amount of air pollutants we are exposed to in our homes, workplaces, schools, and other commonly used indoor spaces. 

For example, did you know that some energy-efficient building methods can actually limit healthy air exchange and lead to increased moisture issues and hidden mold growth? In addition, many of the products we use every day contain harmful chemicals that can build up over time and negatively impact indoor air quality.  

Why is poor indoor air quality a problem? 

Numerous studies highlight the link between poor indoor air quality and human health, with effects ranging from increased allergy symptoms, headaches, and fatigue to more serious heart and lung issues that can impact long-term wellness. 

While some populations are more vulnerable than others (including young children, older adults, and people with existing health problems), living and working in an unhealthy indoor environment is harmful to everyone. Even the family pets can be affected by poor air quality. 

If you are concerned about indoor air quality and how it may affect your family’s health or the health of your staff and patrons, consider getting an indoor air quality test to identify any potential health issues. Regular air duct cleaning and disinfecting will also keep your ventilation system free of pollutants and harmful mold.

Hit the reset button

If your indoor air quality test reveals less-than-ideal results for your Connecticut home or business, all is not lost. The following two simple steps can help you hit the reset button on your indoor air and reduce your exposure to both airborne and surface contaminants—and the team at CT Mold Pros can help. 

1. Whole-house fogging

Our process includes the use of a powerful antimicrobial fogging agent to penetrate tight spaces and remove contaminants. The fast-neutralizing fog dissipates in minutes, allowing us to go from room to room in your home or office and complete the process quickly. This lessens the burden on your air filters and helps to ensure a healthier indoor environment. 

2. High-quality air purifier

After our whole-house fogging service is complete, investing in a high-quality indoor air purifier is a smart way to ensure your indoor air remains clean and breathable. Beyond by Aerus™ offers a wide range of ozone-free air purification systems designed to neutralize contaminants at the molecular level and safeguard health.
