FYI...
A recent study at Yale University revealed that the air in
19 out of 20 homes was "considerably more polluted than
the air outside".
MICROBIAL CONTAMINATION
The moisture
and debris commonly found in HVAC systems provides an ideal
breeding ground for mold, germs, fungi, and other harmful
microbes. Microbial contamination poses a major health risk
to people who suffer from allergies, asthma, and other respiratory
ailments, as well as to those who do not. Numerous studies
have confirmed that some diseases, including Legionnaire's
Disease, originate in, and are readily spread by, contaminated
ventilation systems. Airborne contaminants are drawn through
the duct work of the central air conditioning system via return
air registers. Standard, throw-away fiberglass filters remove
less than 7% of these particles, which means much of the rest
settles in air ducts. Now acknowledged as a major allergy
and disease causing problem by leading medical authorities,
poor indoor air quality has prompted doctors and allergists
to commonly prescribe furnace and air duct cleaning as a remedy.
If you question the need for air duct cleaning, take a look
