Let Midwest Air Care Help You Improve the Indoor Air Quality in Your Home

Contaminated Air!

The air in our homes is filled with dust, pollen, mould and thousands of other pollutants. Whether it's a matter of particulates, gases or bio-burden, all these substances can provoke allergies, asthma and a variety of respiratory problems as well as disease. Furthermore, the air in most homes has a higher concentration of harmful particles than the air outdoors. Since we spend nearly 90% of our lives indoors, an indoor pollutant particle is 1000 times more likely to reach our lungs than a pollutant released outdoors

Purifying the air we breathe in our homes is essential since we spend the major part of our lives indoors. Air pollution may trigger asthma, cause congestion in the nose and throat and irritate eyes, but recent research has discovered the added threat of increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Numerous health problems can develop as a result of continuous exposure to contaminants and allergens.

It has been proven that poor indoor air quality is a major contributor to the increasing number of asthma and allergy cases every year.

We breathe in millions of microscopic particles. Microns are the unit of choice to describe particle size. One micron is one thousandth of a millimeter. Particles less than 2.5 microns are more so potentially dangerous because they are able to penetrate the body's natural defenses and pass through into the lungs. The smaller the particle the more harmful it becomes for you and especially your children.
