The Challenge of Air Quality in Old Homes
Unveiling the Dusty Dilemma
The vintage charm of old homes often accompanies a less glamorous companion: layers of accumulated dust and allergens. Also, wooden floors with history etched into their grain, timeless fabrics that have stood the test of time. These architectural intricacies create the perfect environment for particles to settle.
Pollutants Lurking in the Shadows
As history resides within old homes, so do certain building materials that emit harmful indoor pollutants. Formaldehyde, a common airborne adversary, can emanate from aging furnishings, adhesives, and paints, posing a potential threat to your well-being. Though, an elegant solution has emerged where modernity and vintage beauty converge.
What is lurking in your air?
The Dyson Purifier Big+Quiet Formaldehyde‘s comprehensive filtration system is adept at trapping VOCs; specialized sensors and filtration system target and eliminate formaldehyde, detect NO2 levels, and effectively reduce its presence. Also, the Auto mode constantly monitors CO2 levels and adjusts airflow to ensure optimal air quality. This contributes to a balanced and comfortable atmosphere in your home. But what do all of these acronyms and terms mean?
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
These are gases emitted by various household products, including paints, cleaning supplies, and furnishings. VOCs can lead to indoor air pollution, causing headaches, eye irritation, and long-term health issues.
PM2.5 and PM10 Particles
PM2.5 particles, with a diameter of 2.5 micrometres or smaller, and PM10 particles, at 10 micrometres or smaller, can be found in the air we breathe. But these tiny particles can penetrate our lungs, potentially leading to respiratory problems and exacerbating existing conditions.
Formaldehyde (HCHO)
Commonly present in older homes due to aging furniture and building materials, formaldehyde is a colourless gas with a pungent odour. Exposure to high levels of formaldehyde can lead to irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat.
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
Nitrogen dioxide is a byproduct of combustion, often originating from gas stoves and vehicle emissions. Prolonged exposure to NO2 can cause respiratory issues, especially in individuals with asthma.
Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
While not typically considered a harmful pollutant at regular levels, elevated CO2 concentrations can indicate poor ventilation in indoor spaces. Proper ventilation is crucial to maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
It’s important to note that these can be found in all homes and spaces, not just old houses! Many new products, furniture, paints etc, can contain VOCs and other harmful air pollutants.
