Home Air Pollution

All My Sons of Oklahoma City with the help of TheDailyGreen.com are here to let you know about surprising sources of home air pollution. Besides the obvious like cigarette smoke, air purifiers is another one. Even though companies say they kill mold and bacteria, what they don’t say it that they do that with a mega-dose of ozone. Ozone is the chief component of smog. It can scar lung tissue, trigger asthma attacks, cause coughing fits and lead to permanent damage. Paint can also pollute your home. Lead paint is banned for about 30 years now, but older homes might still have it on their walls. If the paint deteriorates, cracks and peels of, the particles can become lead-tainted dust. So when moving into a new home, ask the inspector to find out about the paint. Carpets and rugs are also another source. The Oklahoma City movers found out that it can harbor dirt, dust mites, pet dander, dirt, fungus, and other unhealthy particles that can irritate the lungs. Cabinets and furniture can have formaldehyde in them especially furnishings with pressed wood. Cooking on a stove, particularly a gas stove, without turning on the fan can actually introduce unsafe levels of nitrogen dioxide into the air, increasing the risk of asthma attacks and other respiratory illness. The Oklahoma City moving specialists hope we helped make your home safer.
