It is estimated that 50 to 100 mold types have the potential for creating health problems.
Exposure to mold has been identified as a potential cause of many health problems including asthma, sinusitis and infections.
The American Lung Association also finds Radon to be a high level concern because:
(1) Every state in the nation has Radon.
(2) 1 in 15 homes has Radon levels determined to be a health hazard.
(3) Radon is judged to be the second leading cause of lung cancer.
OTHER INDOOR AIR BORNE POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS :
-Formaldehyde from building materials and furniture, carpeting, fumes from paint, cleaning products and other volatile organic compounds.
-(VOC's) like cigarette smoke, dust, even perfumes can threaten your health.
The American Society of Heating & Air Conditioning Engineers recommends approximately 8 complete changes of house air per day for a healthy environment.
AIRIVA™ HRV will provide the recommended number of exchanges to homes as large as 3,000 sq. ft.
The AIRIVA™ HRV will transfer 70% to 80% of the temperature from the stale air it exhausts to the fresh air it brings into your home or office, saving energy dollars.
HOW OUR AIRIVA™ HRV WORKS:
Indoor air loaded with pollutants is exhausted to the outside: its heating and cooling energy is transferred to the fresh outside air coming in via our highly efficient 72 sq. ft.(HE150) and 91 sq. ft.(HE100) corrosion proof core.
The EPA reports that indoor air quality is one of the top 5 environmental issues. In addition, the EPA says that indoor air quality (IAQ) can be 5 to 10 times more polluted than outdoor air, even in cities where air quality is poor.
