Environmental Technology Solutions, Inc. Enviro-Room Design™ is a patent pending breakthrough in indoor air quality, providing individuals with respiratory problems a safer breathing environment.
Indoor environmental quality refers to the interactions among many factors in indoor environments, including the quality of the air (e.g., air flow, the presence of chemical or microbiological agents) and physical conditions such as temperature and humidity. Today, chemicals are introduced to the marketplace at a rate of 6,000 new formulas per year. When furnishings and other home products, including toys, are produced, some products may emit vapors into the surrounding air through off gassing. The occupants of the home may then inhale those chemical vapors.
Allergens are another major concern for children and adults. Across the United States, the number of individuals diagnosed with allergies and/or asthma is at an all time high and continuing to increase every day. The CDC reported in 2000 that over 20 million Americans reported suffering from asthma and 70% of those people also suffer from allergies. The prevalence of asthma increased 75% from 1980 to 1994 and asthma rates in children under the age of five increased more than 160% in the same time period. Reports by the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology show that 20% of the U.S. population is affected by some form of allergies. Many experts agree that indoor air pollution is at the heart of the problem. Dust mites, family pets, cockroaches, rodents, plants, trees, grasses, and mold are just a few of the environmental causes of allergies.
Although many are familiar with the other types of allergens, toxic mold is a phrase that is now being commonly discussed. Thousands of mold allergens exist and only a few have been characterized. Recent media attention has brought to light the dangers associated with exposure to mold, especially in the home environment. Causes of mold in the home include poor maintenance or high moisture in wood or the paper veneer found on drywall. Both will lead to the perfect combination to spark mold growth and can go unnoticed for years.
