Air quality is just as important as temperature

Each morning it seems as though I find yet something else that proves to be, once again, that I entirely don’t know anything.

Well, that may be overstating it a bit.

But it’s pretty close. It took a pandemic to introduce myself and others to indoor air pollen levels. One would know that I should kind of have a clue about indoor air pollen levels as a grown woman. But I didn’t. I thought the air conditioning was good air. And air pollution was for outside right? That is not the case at all. In fact, you can live in a rural area with the cleanest air and still have bad indoor air pollen levels. And while the Heating, Ventilation and A/C component does play a area with indoor air pollen levels, air conditioning isn’t cleaning the air. So why is there dust and dirt on the Heating, Ventilation and A/C air filter when I change it each month? That was our main reason for thinking that the Heating, Ventilation and A/C equipment was cleaning the air. It wasn’t. The cheap paper air filters I was using were entirely there to protect the health of the Heating, Ventilation and A/C equipment and not our respiratory health. That was a stunner. Those cheap paper air filter aren’t removing the airborne contaminants that attack our respiratory system. For that, I changed to the HEPA filter. This type of Heating, Ventilation and A/C air filter entirely removes more than 99 percent of the airborne contaminants that hurt us and drag down our immune response. I’m just blissful that all it took was changing an air filter to produce good indoor air pollen levels inside our home.
