The Toxic Mold Series

To Reach Optimal Wellness, Breathing Clean Air is Just as Important as Modern Medicine

Becoming ill from environmental allergens, pathogens, and toxins creates an almost impossible path for sick individuals. People inherently believe in poisons being harmful to human health. In addition, there are clear scientific conclusions that air pollution is bad for our health. At a scientific level, it is the particulates. Particulates are separate and distinct particles. Solid, gas, or liquid particles from organic and chemical sources circulate in the air we breathe. Unfortunately, the same people who believe in poisons do not necessarily want to understand or believe that what appears to be clean air can be dangerous. Outdoor pollution in densely populated areas is widely known to be harmful to our health. However, indoor air pollutants on average can be 2-5 times higher than outdoor pollutants in the same geography.

“The scientific evidence is unequivocal: air pollution can harm health across the entire lifespan. It causes disease, disability and death, and impairs everyone’s quality of life. It damages lungs, hearts, brains, skin and other organs; it increases the risk of disease and disability, affecting virtually all systems in the human body.” [1]

“About twice as many people die in total as die just from the [disease]pathways we understand. We’ve been underestimating all along.”[2]

Mold In Carpet Will Impact Your Health

You Carpet is a Homes Largest Air Filter That Does Not Get Changed

By Cesar Collado

While many people enjoy the warmth and comfort of wall to wall carpeting, Vacuuming often is a significant commitment.  Carpet does not only capture crumbs, dirt and hair.  It captures small particulates that include VOCs, toxins, mold, bacteria, and other harmful compounds.  Furthermore, these particulates can settle at the base of the carpet where they cannot be seen or might not be accessible by a standard vacuuming.  The following article provides additional information on the challenge of keeping your home safe for family and pets on carpet.  A carpet can weigh up to 8 X its normal weight when it is removed.  That is significant accumulation of dust and dust components.  As important, carpets retain moisture for lengthy periods of time.

We recognize that children and pets spend a significant amount of time on carpet.  They touch the carpet and are capable of placing their hands to their faces and mouths.
