Living in an environment with clean air is a luxury that is often taken for granted by many.

Climate change is causing dramatic increases of droughts, floods and wildfires which in turn impacts the quality of air we breath. Other transient local factors can also lead to the deterioration of air quality. Take the case of urban areas – the air may be polluted with harmful particles from vehicle emissions, infrastructure developments and chemical pollutants from industrial activities.

Unless we proactively monitor the air quality in our homes, we will never know if we need to take remedial measures. The monitoring needs to happen on a continuous basis as air quality can quickly deteriorate due to changes in the environment and/or wind conditions.

Home Value: Good indoor air quality can also increase the value of a home. It is becoming an increasingly important factor for homebuyers, who want to ensure that the home they purchase is not only beautiful but also healthy for them and their families to live in.

Environmental concerns: Indoor air pollution can also contribute to environmental problems. By reducing indoor air pollution, individuals can help reduce their carbon footprint and help protect the environment.

In conclusion, monitoring air quality in the home is essential for maintaining good health, comfort, energy efficiency, and overall well-being. Regularly monitoring air quality and addressing indoor pollution sources can help create a healthy and comfortable living environment for the occupants of a home.
