Strategies for Removing Airborne Pollutants from Your Home

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Americans spend an average of 90 percent of their time indoors. Pollutants including dander, cleaning chemicals, and organic growth recirculate in the air indoors and affect the health of Cocoa Beach, FL homeowners and their families. The strategies below feature indoor air quality products that are made for neutralizing and removing airborne pollutants.

Mechanical Ventilators

The California Air Resources Board advises that a mechanical ventilator can be used to expel pollutants out of a home and bring in fresh air from the outdoors. Energy recovery ventilators utilize the home’s HVAC system to heat or cool outside air as it is exchanged with indoor air to improve air quality without compromising comfort.

Whole-Home Air Cleaners

Whole-home air cleaners come in a wide array of different models that use various means and strategies to purify the air that is circulated throughout your home. These cleaners include:

• • Filters that are easy to clean or change. These filters catch airborne debris and prevent these pollutants from being circulated throughout your home. While most HVAC maintenance tasks require an expert, homeowners can clean or replace these filters without the help of a professional.
  • Whole-home air purifiers can be installed in conjunction with your HVAC system to trap pollutants before they can circulate throughout your home. These air cleaners trap smaller particles than traditional filters. Some of these indoor air quality products are equipped with HEPA filters to trap even the tiniest particles. There are also air purifiers that utilize electrical charges to inactivate harmful bacteria and viruses.
