Dust, smoke, dust mites and mold are the enemy of all people but especially infants. Controlling dust in the home or office is one of the best ways to reduce sick building symptoms and exposures that may lead to multiple chemical sensitivity. The more dust the more fatigue, asthma, allergies, lack of concentration, irritation of the eyes and skin, runny nose, dizziness, headaches and a number of other complaints. Reducing these pollutants in the home can also reduce the lifetime risk of cancer for a baby, according to some studies. In areas with lots of moisture in the air like Western Washington, a higher level of dust control is necessary to protect the health of a baby or person with a compromised immune system.
Dust supplies the nutrients that react with moisture to produce mold, dust mites and bacteria.
Keeping a carpet very clean will reduce but not eliminate the mold and micotoxins generated by mold-contaminated carpets. They will not clean your carpet but they can show you how to use and leave the HVDF with you for a few days. Please send comments to webmaster Last Updated 31 March 2001 .
