Air is rather important. We cannot live more than a few minutes without air. But not just any air. We need healthy air for our vitality.
A HEPA filter can filter out toxins in the circulating air when placed on your home air unit. Dr. Bazylewicz uses an IQAir Health Pro Plus Air Purifier which can be easily wheeled around. They are relatively quiet for use in individual rooms and particularly rooms that you use a lot, such as a family room and bedroom. These units help to remove mold spores, pet dander, and particulates up to 0.003 microns, which is really small.
Air carries moisture, electrical charges, heat, and gases - mostly nitrogen and oxygen, which means that air quality is related to humidity, electrical charge, temperature, and proper balance of natural gasses.
Our second skin is our clothes and our third skin is the indoor climate of our buildings. Unfortunately, our fashionable clothing and our modern homes contain many toxic materials which off-gas dangerous chemicals. Then, we breathe these toxins in with every breath.
Many of these chemicals cause a variety of symptoms including headache, fatigue, short-term memory loss, nervous system problems, respiratory issues, depression, anxiety, and more. Also, many of these toxins are carcinogenic.
Common contaminants in the air of our indoor environments include the following:
So, what can we do to improve our air quality?

Dr. Bazylewicz uses an IQAir Health Pro Plus Air Purifier which can be easily wheeled around for convenience. They filter ultra-fine particles with the HyperHEPA filtration technology, and they absorb off-gassed chemicals. These units help to remove mold spores, pet dander, and particulates up to 0.003 microns, which is really small. They are relatively quiet for use in individual rooms and particularly rooms that you use a lot, such as a family room and bedroom.
And here are some more involved, but important, tasks:
Yes, this list is rather daunting! And it is just a few suggestions!
We often take our air quality for granted, but our home air is actually way more toxic than outdoor air pollution! And many people have developed multiple chemical sensitivity from continual exposure to these contaminants.
Creating healthy air may help your health and well-being.
