The quality of the air we
breathe indoors has become an increasingly
important environmental concern. The
ductwork in our air system can contribute
to
several problems when the ducts are not
properly cleaned.
Following are facts that have been
determined by recognized authorities
in the
fields of health and air quality:
Most people spend 60%
to 90% of their time indoors
(AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION)
50% of all illnesses are either caused
by, or aggravated by, polluted indoor air
(AMERICAN COLLEGE OF ALLERGISTS)
The levels of some hazardous pollutants
in indoor air has been found
to be up to 70
times greater than in outdoor air
(USEPA)
Studies have shown that two out of three
indoor air quality problems
involve the HVAC
system
