The health and safety of our bodies and our loved ones’ bodies should always be a top priority. Superior Air Duct Cleaning understands this mission, and that is why we’re here to discuss the importance of running air quality tests in your home. Today’s blog will discuss the various things you could be breathing in if you aren’t having your ducts regularly tested and cleaned.
Radon
Did you know that Radon is the leading cause of lung cancer for nonsmokers? It’s true! Radon is a radioactive gas that is formed and stored in the soil of your yard. It will find its way into your home through cracks in the floors and walls that come into contact with leaking ground pockets in your yard. Air quality tests can detect higher-than-normal levels of Radon and prevent sickness within your lungs.
Allergens
Allergies are a major cause of asthma flare-ups. Mold spores, pollen, dust, smog, and dander are all significant allergens that can irritate your lungs and cause asthma attacks. All of these pollutants quickly build up in your breathable air supply. Using a quarterly air quality test in your home can help prevent asthma attacks and allergy flare-ups.
