Why is it that we never stop to think about the continual process of breathing? Did you know that on average, we take around 20,000 breaths a day!? Pretty amazing isn’t it? We tend to take that for granted. That means every time you breathe, you are taking in air, whether it be clean and pure, or filthy and pathogen filled and your system is using it to purify and rid of waste. If you’re breathing in unhealthy air, it can and does have a major impact on your immune system and overall health. So, with contaminates like toxins, germs, bacteria, pathogens, fungi, mold, and viruses in the indoor air that we breathe, we believe the question should be—why not purify and cleanse the air you breathe?
Clean Air is Instrumental for Good Health
Our bodies run off of oxygen by breathing it in constantly, every day, twenty four hours a day. In fact, Advent mentions that “Breathing in oxygen is crucial to helping defend your immune system. When you breathe oxygen in, your body creates what’s known as superoxides, helping to fight against bacteria and viruses in the body. Aside from superoxides, the nasal turbinates play a large role in cleansing the air you breathe. The nasal turbinates are fleshy areas within the nose that facilitate the conduction, filtration and humidification of the air you breathe.”
Wouldn’t it be a shame if that oxygen was filled with all sorts of contaminants that would render it assisting your immune system almost obsolete? The more intruders and pollutants in the air, the more unhealthy the environment as a result. Breathing in clean air will always be a top concern because we need it to survive and thrive.
Existing Breathing Issues
Not only this, but think about the benefits for those who already struggle with air quality intake as a whole. Many have asthma and breathing issues, or maybe one has seasonal allergies. These are very common issues that can be reduced by purifying your indoor air for added alleviation. In the United States alone, asthma affects around 25 million people, or about 1 out of every 14 adults and children. Not only does sanitizing your air add enhanced protection against pathogens and viruses, but it also can help alleviate asthma and seasonal allergies by eliminating allergens in the air.
Environment Odor
Another common issue is that of odor environmental problems, which can be caused from mold, and different contaminants like most common synthetic air fresheners. Blue Halo sanitized UVC-GUV lighting makes about 24 ACH (Air Changes Per Hour) and cleanses the air every cycle, helping rapidly to eliminate any environmental odor or mold.
Indoor Air Quality
The term “indoor air quality” or IAQ refers to the air quality within and around buildings and certain structures. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) gives us three main points for why indoor air quality is extremely important.
According to the EPA:
- “Americans, on average, spend approximately 90 percent of their time indoors, where the concentrations of some pollutants are often 2 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations.”
- “People who are often most susceptible to the adverse effects of pollution (e.g., the very young, older adults, people with cardiovascular or respiratory disease) tend to spend even more time indoors.”
- “Indoor concentrations of some pollutants have increased in recent decades due to such factors as energy-efficient building construction (when it lacks sufficient mechanical ventilation to ensure adequate air exchange) and increased use of synthetic building materials, furnishings, personal care products, pesticides, and household cleaners.
Indoor air pollution is actually one of the top five health risks related to public health, and is becoming more and more of an important topic of concern as we experience different pathogen outbreaks.
In the end
In conclusion, just by these few examples, it is easy to see that the purification and sanitization of indoor air makes perfect sense. Cleansing your air provides multiple benefits to all of those involved, whether people or pets. Now is the time to take action! Choose Blue Halo today for your Indoor air quality needs.
