According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air pollution is on average 5 to 10 times greater than outdoors. Physicians continuously see an increase in the number of patients who suffer from respiratory problems such as asthma, hay fever, chronic bronchitis, or other aggravating complications. Health agencies and experts are now releasing reports connecting indoor contamination to increased medical problems. The relationship makes sense if you consider that the average American spends more than 90% of their time indoors. Indoor pollutants are now being blamed for symptoms as small as runny noses and as large as life-threatening diseases.

Problem:
In the early 1970's U.S. builders began constructing homes and offices more "energy efficient." Along with this trend came a reduction in the standard amount of ventilation required for each occupant. Several studies since this time frame have concluded that the reduction in ventilation was the main source for indoor air contamination.

Inadequate ventilation into a building offered increased moisture, which is the foundation for microbial growth and house dust mite infestation. Once the indoor pollutants evolved, the "air tight" construction trapped them inside, causing them to be circulated throughout the indoor environment.

Approvximately 50% to 80% of homes in the South have humidity levels above the recommended fifty percent. An abundance of moisture can lead to structural damage of the building and ventilation system components, which in turn can result in further indoor air quality problems. Maintaing a low humidity level is essential in controlling biological contaminants in your home or office.

Other indoor pollutants include:

Pollen and mold spores

VOCs (formaldehyde, radon, carbon monoxide, etc.)

Animal hair, dander and infestation

Tobacco smake and odors

Asbestos fibers

Adhesives

Pesticides

Old carpet

House plants

Combustion products and appliances

Solution:

Southeastern Allergy Relief follows a six-step process to comfort your dwelling!

Relate to the occupant experiencing the symptoms and discomfort. Together we can determine when and where the symptoms are ocurring the most. SAR will then gather information on the history of the building and the illness.

Examine the building thoroughly to determine possible contamination sources. SAR records humidity levels throughout the establishment and looks for possible structural problems or pollutant pathways.

Locate possible sources of contaminants and take air samples to determine the concentration of the pollutants. SAR also takes a particle count at .3 microns to determine how much of the pollutants are airborne.

Implement a proposal to eliminate or control the source of contamination. SAR will determine what measures need to be taken to condition your establishment. This includes correcting any structural problem(s), educating the occupant on maintaining HVAC system, increasing ventilation, introducing HEPA filtration, etc.

Explain the procedures to the client and submit a written estimate. SAR will discuss the itemized estimate with you before any measures are taken.

Free the client of symptoms that were induced by the airborne pollutants. SAR will drastically reduce the airborne particle count in your home or office and give your immune system a chance to recover.
