Suggerimenti per una buona qualità dell'aria indoor

Quando le temperature precipitano e l’inverno comincia a farsi sentire, i sistemi di riscaldamento vengono accesi. Le case moderne ben isolate sono altamente efficienti nel mantenere questo calore, ma trattengono anche cose meno gradite come fumi dei sistemi di riscaldamento, delle stufe a legna e dei fornelli.
Queste non sono solo fastidiose, ma possono anche essere letali. La buona notizia è che ci sono misure che puoi adottare per migliorare la qualità dell'aria interna. 

La buona notizia è che ci sono cose che puoi fare per migliorare la qualità dell’aria indoor!

Here are the steps you can take to improve your indoor air quality:

  • Keep the house clean and as free as possible from dust.

  • If you have a mechanical ventilation system installed in your house, arrange for the ducts to be cleaned.

  • Have your wood stove or open fire chimney checked by a professional every season and ensure you have a working CO detector.

  • Prevent the air from becoming too dry, perhaps by using a humidifier. This will minimise problems with dry throats and dust mites.

  • Ensure that potential sources of indoor air pollution such as cleaning solutions are well sealed when not being used.

  • Use air fresheners sparingly.

  • Skip the holiday scented candles and instead use 100% stearin candles.

  • Groom your pet(s) regularly. They probably spend more time indoors during the winter; if they have built up a thick winter coat of fur, then shedding and pet dander can negatively impact air quality.

  • Keeping houseplants can, to some extent, improve air quality in your home

  • Finally, consider installing air cleaners in your home.

Quest ultimo suggerimento è particolarmente importante. Se l'aria outdoor non è efficacemente filtrata e pulita, allora l'aria indoor può contenere una grande quantità di particelle nocive in grado di insinuarsi nei tratti respiratori e nel sistema circolatorio delle persone. 

 

This latter suggestion is particularly important. If outdoor air is not effectively filtered and cleaned, then the indoor air can contain a large quantity of the harmful particulates that find their way into people’s respiratory tracts and circulation systems. These can aggravate chest problems such as asthma and increase the risk of developing diseases like pneumonia.

These particles and other substances can combine with those already present inside buildings and become more harmful, making indoor air pollution many more times as hazardous as the outdoor variety.

An excellent way to improve indoor air quality (IAQ) is to employ an air purifier such as the City Touch by Camfil. An air purifier that creates a healthier indoor environment, reduces the incidence of asthma and other allergies and neutralises odour by filtering out harmful particulates in the air.

Un purificatore d’aria che crea un ambiente indoor salubre, riduce l’incidenza di asma e altre allergie e neutralizza gli odori attraverso la filtrazione di particelle nocive nell'aria.
However, beware. Some air purifiers only capture particulate matter such as animal dander and pollen. To be thorough, you need to specify activated carbon filters in order to remove gases (such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and nitrogen dioxide), odours, chemicals (such as the residuals left after cleaning) and even bacteria and viruses.

The City Touch Air Purifier is designed for all types of indoor environments including homes, hospitals, hotels, offices, schools and public environments, indeed, anywhere that high-quality air purification is required.
