There are a great many studies out that show that the quality of the air inside a home, no thanks to the various indoor pollutants, can be and generally is far worse than what the outdoor air quality is. This problem becomes even more serious when indoors because you are in a closed in environment with the pollutants, putting yourself at great personal risk of becoming quite ill from inhaling them. If you wish to get a handle on air pollution then there is no reason you should be forced to live with air pollution in your own home, so do some legwork and look up some experts on indoor air quality control.
Drying the building makes it less conducive to mold and bacterial growth. Heat may also reduce annoying and irritating odors.
Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, are organic chemicals that are put off as vapor from certain products like waxes, paints, and varnishes. Many cleaning products, cosmetics, disinfecting agents, degreasers, and hobby agents produce VOCs. Various fuels are also made up of Volatile Organic Compounds. What this means is that all of these products mentioned are capable of putting noxious toxic fumes into the air while being used, but also while in storage, to be released upon opening. These VOCs cause all sorts of health problems for the people who work around them constantly, and it is even worse if they are worked with inside, where they can make the air quality up to ten times worse than the outdoor pollution amounts.
Examples of products that contain VOCs or volatile organic compounds include all of the following products:
In our homes, voc indoor air quality is seriously at risk of making us sick and we are not doing anything about it. indoor voc counts are higher than we should allow them to be, and as a result we are making ourselves ill by breathing in chemicals and compounds that are toxic, noxious and bad for us in every way, shape and form. The only way to improve indoor voc quality is through air purification systems and using products that put off less chemicals. If we do not start paying attention to the air that we are breathing in our homes, where we are supposed to feel safe, then we will continue to make ourselves sicker.
Why Not “Pasteurize” A Structure?
Wet structures are very conducive to biological contamination. The structural contamination may be the result of current water issues, prior ones, or both. Added value from the technology is the improvement of the air you breathe. Wet buildings will rapidly foster the growth of unwanted contaminants such as mold, bacteria, and insects. Recent studies indicate that dampness in buildings results in a 40% increase in risk to occupants for health afflictions such as asthma, allergic reactions, and other respiratory problems.
Clean, dry heat, is introduced to the structure or containment and the inside air is slowly raised to a safe “sauna-like temperature”. To ensure that the temperature of 140-170ºF is maintained for rapid drying and is lethal to target organisms, ALLIANCE ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP uses state-of-the-art digital thermometers monitor inside ambient and surface temperatures. This heating process rapidly dries the structure and kills inaccessible mold, bacteria and insects for a higher level of cleanliness.
Alliance’s Indoor Air Quality Solution: It’s Just Heat!
Since no toxic chemicals are used, ALLIANCE ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP technicians can enter and monitor the treated area, and there are no harmful residues to contaminate the air or surfaces. It’s just heat, which creates a cleaner, safer environment.
