Air Purifiers for Apartments and Condos
Why You Need an Air Purifier
Apartment dwellers can experience the same indoor air problems as people living in single-family homes because many of the pollution sources are the same, however, the pollutants can be more highly concentrated in a smaller living space.
In addition, apartment dwellers are often at the mercy of their neighbours, being exposed to cigarette smoke and unpleasant odours that are out of their control. In fact, indoor air studies have shown that, depending on the age and construction of a building, up to 65% of the air in a private apartment can come from elsewhere in the building. This can be more than just a nuisance. For example, second-hand smoke in apartment buildings is a very real health concern and an emerging public health issue in Canada. In Vancouver, 13 residents of an apartment building recently filed a human rights complaint about exposure to second-hand smoke from other tenants, which if upheld, could have serious repercussions for complexes where smokers and non-smokers are mixed.
Health hazards can also arise from the building itself. Aging, inadequate or poorly maintained heating and ventilation systems can adversely affect the indoor air quality for residents by leaking carbon monoxide and other harmful combustion gases into their apartments. In addition, biological contaminants like mould can breed in ducts, humidifiers and drain pans, and then spread to all apartments through vents and ductwork. There are numerous horror stories about this in the media, with one of the most troubling cases occurring in 2005, when the 2-year old daughter of a tenant died as a direct result of mould-related issues in the apartment building where she was living.
FACT: When inhaled, mould spores can colonize throughout the body,
including the sinuses, lungs and brain
