We are always trying to do everything that we can to lead healthy and happy lifestyles. Believe it or not, though a lot of the dangers that we encounter from an air quality perspective come from being exposed to pollutants and bacteria that are inside of our homes, not outside. The vast majority of environmental pollutants that are out there are breathed indoors. These come from everything that floats throughout our home on any given day. Pollutants, chemicals, and bacteria can come from the various cleaning products that we use in our home, the activities that take part in the home, and the materials that exist there. You can have the best air conditioning system in the world, and it still may not be able to do enough to get rid of all of this junk in the air.
