HowWeDetermineYour Air Quality Score:1. Using a laser particle counter, we take 3 indoor particle readings and average them.2. Using a laser particle counter, we take 3 outdoor particle readings and average them.3. Then we divide the indoor average reading by the outdoor average reading.4. IQAir considers good air quality in a home to typically contain only one-fourth (25%)

the particle pollution as outdoor air.

Harmful Pollutants in the

PetDander: Size: 0.05 – 25 microns. Pet dander is theold skin and fur that pets shed. Animal dander is verysmall and can become attached to your clothingeven if you do not own a pet. Dander can be foundeverywhere: floors, carpets,walls, furniture, bedding,even the ceilings. Pet dander is a known asthma andallergy trigger.

Pollen: Size: 0.35 – 250 microns. One of the mostcommon allergens is pollen. It affects the nose, eyes,and mouth making it difficult to breathe.Most pollenthat produces allergic reactions is from trees, grasses,and weeds.

Common FluVirus: Size: 0.01– 0.3 microns. The flu virusattacks the respiratory system and can cause difficulty inbreathing. The flu is an airborne virus. People carryingthe virus may be contagious for 1 to 4 days before theyshow symptoms. It is important to filter viruses from theair to reduce the chance of infection.

Dust Mites: Size: 0.05 – 25 microns. House dust mites areconsidered to be the most common cause of asthma andallergic symptoms worldwide. Dust mites themselves donot cause an allergic reaction, however, their dung-pelletsare an irritant to sensitive people and can cause breathingdifficulties. They thrive in warm, humid, dark conditionssuch as mattresses, carpets, sheets,pillows, and upholstery.

Common Bacteria: Size: 0.1–10 microns. Commonbacteria are found in many homes and can circulatethrough your ventilation system and thrive in close tightareas. Bacteria can cause respiratory infections and otherdiseases that can negatively affect your health.

Mold / Fungus: Size: 1–75 microns. Mold and fungus arecommonly found in most homes and may be found inthe air ducts of your heating/cooling system. They tendto float throughout the house, and form new colonieswhere they land. Fungus spores have been known toincrease the chances of developing asthma.

Indoor pollutants and allergens can create a toxic soup of pollutants that can affect the health of you and your family. In fact, nine out of tenhomes have been found to have air quality problems that could be harmful to your health. With studies showing you spend 90% of your dayindoors, the quality of the indoor air you breathe affects you and your family’s health.

90% of the airborne particles in a typical household are smaller than 0.3 microns in size which is actually smaller than bacteria. Many of theseairborne particles and allergens are so small that when inhaled, they can actually enter your lungs and be absorbed into your bloodstream. It isimportant to have an air cleaning system that can protect you and your family from harmful indoor pollutants such as these:

Household Cleaners & Chemicals:Many peopledevelop sensitivities by being exposed to commonhousehold cleaners and chemicals. Household cleanershave a negative impact on your health. Respiratoryissues could exist with children. Studies suggest that theprevalence of chemical sensitivities increases with age.

Knowing howmany airborne particles are in the indoor air you breathe can provide you with criticalinformation about your indoor air quality and the effectiveness of your current filtration system.A ParticleScan instrument uses laser technology to measure particle concentration in ambient air.While the ParticleScan is a technologically sophisticated device, it can only measure particlesdown to 0.3 microns in size. With the fact that 90% of all airborne particles are smaller than 0.3 micronsin size, the particle count you will see with the ParticleScan device is only the tip of the iceberg ofthe actual number of harmful particles you have in your home. The actual number of total particles inyour home is approximately ten times higher!

Below is a chart of pollutants and their size range.

Real People,Real ResultsLisaWhiting and son“My son Brant has suffered with severe asthma since infancy. Lack of sleep,inhalers, breathing treatments, steroids, frequent hospitalizations (includinga respiratory arrest) and constant trips to the emergency roomwere thenorm for us. Frommedications to ultrasonic nebulizers to air filtration systems,I thought I was doing EVERYTHING possible to manage my son’s asthma.It was still uncontrolled. I was at my wits end until I finally called IQAir.

They have changed our lives. Instead of waking up with nightly asthma attacksmy son has had virtually no asthma attacks. The year before we had IQAircome to our home,my son missed classes on 67 days of school due tocomplications of his asthma. The year after IQAir installed our new airpurification system,he missed zero days of school. It’s wonderful. IQAir hasgiven memy life back and my son’s life back. We are just able to live in ahealthy home now.”

Dr.Brian Boxer-Wachler,MD“My environment as an eye surgeon is very delicate, and in our surgery roomwe need to create a very sterile environment for patients’ safety. Part ofour sterility protocol is to use IQAir. They tested my operating room’s air anddesigned an air purification system for us that filters all of the particles downto a sub micron level. As a medical doctor, I can tell you that IQAir’s specialistsare the experts on finding the most effective solutions for cleaning your air.
