Take a Breath
A person takes 30,000 breaths a day. We had to check that statistic
a few times to believe it! Since Canadians spend approximately 90%
of their time inside, the vast majority of our air intake takes
place indoors. Studies have shown that indoor air quality in an
average home can be many times more polluted than the air outside.
It’s common to see indoor air quality levels up to 10 times
more polluted than outside.
Through our lungs, oxygen reaches every cell in our body. Through
our lungs, air pollutants reach every cell in our body. The air
we breathe clearly plays a major role in our overall health.
A Clear Investment
It’s becoming clear that we should be investing in the air
we breathe. It’s hard to put a value on something we can’t
see, but clean air is priceless when it comes to achieving good
health.
We are all well aware of the impact that food and liquids have
on our body, just not as informed about the extensive side effects
poor indoor air quality has on us. We spend money on vitamins, specialty
foods, bottled water… What about the air we are breathing?
Temporary effects of indoor air pollutants include allergic reactions,
headaches, nausea, and eye, nose and throat irritation. Permanent
effects include respiratory disease, heart disease, lung cancer,
and damage to the liver, kidney and brain.
It’s a matter of short and long-term health. What price would
you place on better health for you and your family?
