Indoor air pollution is now listed as the fourth greatest environmental threat to Americans by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Airborne pollutants are pulled into your duct system each time your heater or air conditioner pumps air through it. These dangerous contaminants eventually collect inside your air duct system over time, causing your indoor air supply to be increasingly polluted.
Indoor contaminants may include: dust mites, tobacco smoke, chemicals, airborne allergens, bacteria, animal dander, and carbon monoxide. These contaminants are proven to affect the health and comfort of individuals who are exposed to them in excessive amounts, or over long periods of time. Therefore, failing to regularly remove contaminants from an air distribution system can lead to asthma, allergies, colds, sore throats, headaches, and various respiratory problems.
