One of the biggest contributors to the poor air quality within our homes is VOCs, which enter our indoor air through a variety of different means. VOC stands Volatile Organic Compounds, and describes organic chemical compounds that have entered into the atmosphere after becoming vaporized. According to studies conducted by the Environmental Protection Agency, the EPA, indoor air quality is considered to be between 2 and 5 times more harmful to our health than outdoor air, primarily as a result of the presence of VOCs in our homes. VOC abatement systems, then, are necessary in helping to clean up our air in order to provide us with cleaner oxygen to breathe.
Alliance Environmental is an exclusive provider of the patented ThermaPure heat treatment system, an innovative solution for VOC abatement.
Why Not “Pasteurize” A Structure?
If Louis Pasteur were alive today, he would probably be recommending “pasteurization” for our structures and buildings.
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.
There are a surprising number of different things that can be found floating around in your air. Paints and other chemicals contain VOCs, which get into the air and mess up the air quality in your home, forcing you to breathe in toxins and other nastiness that you really should not be harboring in your lungs. For example, if you have ever had water damage or a leak in your home, there is a chance that you have mold spores floating around in your home, storing themselves in your air conditioning and heating ducts and bringing down the quality of your air. Unfortunately what this means is that you could be slowly but surely making yourself sick. This is why VOC abatement systems are necessary, because they lower the VOC counts in your home and restore some of the much needed air quality.
When you test the air quality in your home, you may realize that you have airborne allergens, including asbestos fibers in the air, fiberglass fibers in the air, mold spores like Aspergillus and Stachybotrys floating around in the air, dust mites affecting the quality of the air, staph spores floating around in the air, and a variety of other truly interesting but also truly harmful compounds making their way through your lungs on a daily basis. Can you imagine testing the air quality in your home, only to find out that you have fungus spores, mold spores, bacterial, Legionella or even Formaldehyde in the air in your home? You could be breathing in some truly nasty toxins and other allergens without even realizing it, making it absolutely vital that you test the quality of the air in your home as soon as possible if you have any doubts.
Drying the building makes it less conducive to mold and bacterial growth. Heat may also reduce annoying and irritating odors.
Once you know that you have airborne allergens or other problems in your air quality, the next step in the process is to call Alliance Environmental and inquire about our exclusive VOC abatement system. Our structural pasteurization process removes volatile organic compounds from the air to restore the air quality in your home. By lowering the amount of VOCs in the air in your home, you can restore your health and well being without worrying about breathing in harmful toxins and other allergens. If you have not yet tested the air quality in your home, what are you waiting for?
