Environmental Protection Agency sources indicate we spend approximately 90 percent of our time indoors. And the air inside can be up to 100 times more polluted than the air outside. Airborne contaminants live with you in your home every day. Dust mites, molds, fungi, spores, pollen, bacteria,
viruses, fragments of plant materials, dander—all are suspended in the air you breathe. Fortunately, there is a solution: Aprilaire air cleaners. Unlike portable units, the Aprilaire media whole-home unit cleans the air in your entire house, removing harmful particles.
The average American breathes 3,400 gallons of air each day, making ambient air pollution a major environmental problem.
