There are thousands of pollutants in the air we breathe, and many of them we may not even realize are there. This means that there are just as many reasons to install air filters in homes, offices and public spaces. We breathe in a lot of air every day, more than eleven thousand liters, which includes many different types of pollutants and allergens

Air filter purifiers are not something that is found in every home, however, given that the average human breathes in around eleven thousand liters of air each day, they probably should be. Air quality plays a huge role in the health and well-being of a household. Breathing in air full of pollutants may be doing untold and unseen damage to your family members.

These days we are subjected to many harmful pollutants in the air we breathe. Not only are there naturally occurring pollutants like pollen and plant spores to worry about, man-made pollutants like cigarette smoke and chemicals are also a concern. These are present not only in the air of dense cities, but in almost every home due to the use of chemical cleaning agents and paints.

When you think that the average person breathes approximately 11,000 liters of air per day it really puts it into perspective just how important the quality of the air we breathe is. Many people filter the water in their homes so that the less than two liters of water they drink on average each day is clean and pure, but far fewer have thought about the air they and their families are breathing and installed an air purifier filter. In fact many people may not have even heard of electronic air filters.

Utah air quality tends to be some of the best in the U.S. That's partially true because of the controls put on wood smoke, ozone management, and vehicle exhaust. Salt Lake, being in a bowl where winds can't blow the air clean, struggles at times with high air pollution, but the rest of the state is fairly clean.

The Utah Air Conservation Act (Utah Code 19-2-104) empowers the Utah Air Quality Board to enact rules pertaining to Air Quality activities and develop State Implementation Plans to attain and maintain National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). The Air Quality Board oversees all state activities that affect Utah air quality. An informative Web site for the Utah Air Quality Division of the Department of Environmental Quality has been established at www.airquality.utah.gov/Air-Quality-Board.]]> http://www.thegoodairlady.com/utah_air_quality_000280.html http://www.thegoodairlady.com/utah_air_quality_000280.html Air Quality by Location Fri, 06 Mar 2009 06:00:00 -0700 Pollution Smoke
Pollution, smoke or exhaust, needs to be cleaned up because it's harming our health. Lungs don't recover from smoke as readily as we'd like. Chronic health problems can arise from long-term pollution smoke exposure.

Smoke is one of the oldest manmade forms of air pollution, dating back to prehistoric times. Ancient man made smoke by cooking with fire, and by setting fire to prairies to drive game into cul de sacs where it could be killed easily. More smoke pollution was made smelting metals during the Bronze and Iron Ages. Of course, the Industrial Age brought even more smoke pollution as factories sprang up everywhere. Smoke pollution is Man’s visible signature on the air.]]> http://www.thegoodairlady.com/pollution_smoke_000279.html http://www.thegoodairlady.com/pollution_smoke_000279.html Air Pollution Mon, 09 Feb 2009 06:00:00 -0700 Interesting Air Pollution Facts
