We start by assessing your air quality and determining the contaminates that are most concerning to you. Whether you are worried about allergens or bacteria and viruses, we can recommend effective solutions.<\/p><h2 style=\"text-align: left;\">How to Remove Contaminants From the Air:<\/h2><p>Removing contaminants from indoor air requires a comprehensive approach that combines regular cleaning, appropriate ventilation, and the use of air purifiers. Here are some strategies:<\/p><ol><li><p><strong>Regular Cleaning<\/strong>: Regular cleaning can help control dust, pet dander, and other allergens. Using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter can be especially effective.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Proper Ventilation<\/strong>: Ensure your home or workspace is well-ventilated. This helps to dilute indoor air pollutants and reduce their concentration. Opening windows to allow fresh air in, using exhaust fans in kitchens and bathrooms, and making sure your HVAC system is in good working order can all help improve ventilation.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Air Purifiers<\/strong>: Air purifiers can help to remove pollutants from the air. They can be particularly useful in rooms where people spend a lot of time, such as bedrooms or living rooms.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Humidity Control<\/strong>: High humidity can encourage the growth of mold and dust mites. Keep indoor humidity levels between 30% and 50% to help control these allergens.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>No Smoking<\/strong>: Avoid smoking indoors. Secondhand smoke is a major indoor air pollutant and can be harmful to the health of everyone in the home.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Radon Testing and Mitigation<\/strong>: Radon is a radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. It can be found in any building, so it&#8217;s worth testing your home and taking steps to reduce radon levels if necessary.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Proper Maintenance of HVAC System<\/strong>: Regularly clean and maintain your HVAC system, including changing filters as recommended by the manufacturer.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Use of Plants<\/strong>: Some indoor plants can help improve indoor air quality by absorbing toxins and producing oxygen. However, they should be used as a supplement to other strategies, not as the primary means of improving air quality.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Avoid Synthetic Fragrances<\/strong>: Many air fresheners and candles can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. Opt for natural alternatives whenever possible.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Minimize Use of Chemical Cleaners and Pesticides<\/strong>: Many of these products can emit harmful fumes. Look for natural or eco-friendly alternatives.<\/p><\/li><\/ol><p>It&#8217;s important to remember that improving indoor air quality is often about managing and reducing pollutants rather than completely eliminating them. Regular assessments of your indoor air quality can help ensure you&#8217;re taking the right steps to keep your environment healthy.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2211\"><p>Addressing poor indoor air quality involves a combination of strategies to reduce the presence of pollutants and improve overall air conditions. Here are some effective ways to treat poor indoor air quality:<\/p><ol><li><p><b>Identify and Eliminate the Source:<\/b> The most effective way to improve indoor air quality is to eliminate the sources of pollution or reduce their emissions. This may include fixing leaks to prevent mold, removing sources of dust or allergens, and avoiding synthetic fragrances and chemical cleaners.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Improve Ventilation:<\/b> Increasing the outdoor air coming indoors helps reduce pollutants inside. This can be achieved by opening windows and doors, using fans, and improving your HVAC system&#8217;s performance.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Clean Regularly:<\/b> Regular cleaning reduces the presence of pollutants like dust and pet dander. Using a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter can capture these particles instead of redistributing them into the air.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Control Humidity:<\/b> High humidity can encourage the growth of mold and mildew. Use dehumidifiers or air conditioners to keep humidity levels between 30-50%.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Use Air Cleaners:<\/b> Air purifiers can help remove certain pollutants from the air. There are various types of air cleaners available, from small units suitable for single rooms to larger, whole-house systems. Choose one that is best suited for your needs and the specific pollutants you are trying to remove.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Regularly Maintain Your HVAC System:<\/b> Regular maintenance of your HVAC system, including changing filters as per the manufacturer&#8217;s instructions, ensures that it effectively cleans the air and does not become a source of pollutants itself.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Test for Radon:<\/b> Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can cause lung cancer. It can enter your home through cracks in the foundation, so it&#8217;s important to test for it and use a mitigation system if necessary.<\/p><\/li><li><p><b>Use Carbon Monoxide Detectors:<\/b> Carbon monoxide is a dangerous, odorless gas that can be produced by stoves, heaters, and other appliances that burn fuel.

Good ventilation can also significantly reduce VOC levels indoors.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h5 id=\"elementor-tab-title-2218\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2218\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"a\" width=\"43.104\" height=\"45.888\" viewBox=\"0 0 43.104 45.888\"><polygon points=\"24.096 20.16 24.096 0 19.008 0 19.008 20.16 0 20.16 0 25.248 19.008 25.248 19.008 45.888 24.096 45.888 24.096 25.248 43.104 25.248 43.104 20.16 24.096 20.16\"><\/polygon><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" id=\"a\" width=\"43\" height=\"6\" viewBox=\"0 0 43 6\"><rect width=\"43\" height=\"6\"><\/rect><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What is a safe indoor air quality level?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h5>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2218\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"8\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2218\"><p>Indoor air quality (IAQ) is affected by various pollutants, and for many of these, specific guidelines or standards have been developed to protect health. Here are some recommended levels for key indoor air pollutants according to various health organizations:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p><b>Particulate Matter (PM2.5 and PM10):<\/b> The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Health Organization (WHO)<\/a>&nbsp;guidelines recommend that PM2.5 levels should not exceed 10 \u03bcg\/m3 annual mean, or 25 \u03bcg\/m3 24-hour mean; and PM10 levels should not exceed 20 \u03bcg\/m3 annual mean, or 50 \u03bcg\/m3 24-hour mean.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Carbon Dioxide (CO2):<\/b> While not a pollutant in the same sense as others on this list, CO2 levels can indicate whether a space is properly ventilated. Typical outdoor levels are around 400 ppm, and indoor levels should ideally be kept below 1,000 ppm in occupied spaces.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Carbon Monoxide (CO):<\/b> The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)<\/a>&nbsp;recommends that indoor air levels of carbon monoxide should be kept below 9 parts per million (ppm) for an 8-hour period and below 35 ppm for a 1-hour period.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Radon:<\/b> The U.S. EPA recommends taking action to reduce radon levels in homes if the level is 4 picocuries per liter (pCi\/L) or higher.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs):<\/b> Levels for individual VOCs may vary, but as a general rule, lower is always better. The U.S. EPA reports a range of 0.3 to 0.5 mg\/m3 as a typical level for total VOCs in indoor air.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><b>Mold and Humidity:<\/b> While there&#8217;s no set standard for mold levels in indoor air, any visible mold growth is a potential problem that should be addressed. Maintaining indoor humidity between 30% and 50% can help to prevent mold growth.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These guidelines provide a general overview but keep in mind that sensitivity to pollutants can vary widely from person to person, and what is tolerable for one person may not be for another, especially those with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions. Additionally, this is a complex field with ongoing research, and guidelines can change over time as new research becomes available.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indoor Air Quality Services in Tampa Bay Breathing clean, healthy air is not a luxury\u2014it&#8217;s a necessity.
