Is Air Making You Sick?

Just as it’s important for people to get medical check-ups to keep their bodies healthy, so too, should they regularly check the quality of their indoor air environments to ensure that it is toxin-free. But the root of your family’s coughing, sneezing, and headaches may be poor indoor air quality. Similar to medical check-ups for our physical bodies, it is equally important to regularly monitor the indoor environment of one’s home and office.

A simple air quality test can reveal issues within your interior spaces and common findings often indicate that the central air systems are circulating containments throughout the home or office just like blood through one’s veins and arteries. Autoimmune diseases occur when the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its tissues, causing damage.

Regularly test air quality if anyone in your family suffers from several of the following ailments:
  • Allergy like symptoms                                   
  • Food Sensitivity
  • Migraines                                                                       
  • Skin Irritations
  • Depression                                                                     
  • Fatigue
  • Gastro-Intestinal Issues                               
  • Difficulty Sleeping
  • Brain Fog/Confusion                                                    
  • Irritability

It may seem like these ailments have nothing to do with one another, but in reality, they are all inflammatory responses. Inflammation occurs when the inflammatory cells travel to a place of injury or foreign contamination. When the cells stay too long, it may lead to chronic inflammation. The biggest problem in our indoor environment is biological contamination (waste from living things):

  • Pollens, originated from plants
  • Viruses, transmitted by people and animals
  • Mold and Other Fungi (mycotoxins and other byproducts)
  • Bacteria
  • Household Pets (saliva and dander)
  • Droppings and Body Parts from pests and insects
  • Dried Urine from rats and mice
When the biological contaminants are inhaled, they can make people sick

People with a compromised immune system or pre-existing medical conditions are more likely to have an extreme reaction to such exposure. For most people, exposure to these contaminants simply causes mild sinus or respiratory infection. Unfortunately, for a growing number of people, it can cause a far greater inflammatory response and is often misdiagnosed.

There is mold in every home

The level of mold inside your home should always be less than that outdoors. The second major contributor to inflammation in the body is chemicals. Chemicals can not only be inhaled but they are also absorbed through the skin, thus exacerbating a person’s physical reaction to mold. After mold remediation and elimination of the moisture source, dehumidifiers and air scrubbers remove humidity and mold spores from the air.

Air scrubbers are important for two reasons;
  • they will decrease the spores so that they do not continue to grow
  • and they will make the air less harmful

Since autoimmune conditions are tricky to diagnose, all aspects of a person’s environment should be examined and mold removal may solve the medical mystery that has been plaguing you or your family.
