Exploring the Basics of Indoor Air Quality:
Dust - Respirable Particles
Click for a larger viewDust and airborne particulates can be irritating to the upper respiratory system and will adversely affect individuals with existing allergies, asthma, and respiratory diseases. Long term exposure to dust and airborne particulate may also pose a risk for people who currently do not experience respiratory symptoms. Air-borne pollutants are either biological (mould, dust mites, pollen, animal dander) or originate from other sources (gases or chemical particles released by furnishings, carpets, construction materials, unvented appliances, renovation activities including dust from lead paint, poorly-maintained heating systems, humidifiers and dehumidifiers).

What you should know about House Dust
Click for a larger viewHouse Dust is a broad terms for an ever-changing and ever-present substance
House Dust is the result of the natural decomposition of the things we have in our homes along with dust that infiltrates from the outside. Wherever it comes from, it is a prime symptom of poor indoor Air Quality and causes a lot of symptoms for the allergic person.
What is in house dust?
The composition of house duct has changed over time and varies from house to house. Generally, you might find textile fibers, decomposing insect parts, pet dander, human and animal hair, food leftovers, pollen grains, mold spores, bacteria, skin flakes, insulation, sand, and the ever present dust mite and its fecal material.
What increases the amount of dust in a house?
Carpets, draperies, ruffled items, knickknacks, books, magazines, pets, upholstered furniture, animals and pillows, and fireplaces are some things that may increase dust levels. Infrequent cleaning or cleaning with a vacuum cleaner without a high efficiency filtering device, high traffic levels, location of the house, type of yard, and their condition of the central air system all contribute to the amount of dust in your home. For example, if you are in a new neighborhood where there is a lot of construction and the yards are not sodden with grass, you will have more dust in your home.
