`
`In recent years, indoor air quality has become a hot topic, especially with the advent of various Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) products and solutions. As experts in Heating, AC, Plumbing & Electrical services, we at M and M noticed there are a plenty of misconceptions surrounding IAQ. We’re here to set things straight.`
`
`
`Myth 1: Indoor Air Is Always Cleaner than Outdoor Air`
`
`
`Contrary to popular belief, indoor air isn’t always the pristine environment we envision. In fact, the EPA reports that indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air. The reason? Lack of proper ventilation, dust accumulation, and indoor pollutants ranging from household chemicals to pet dander.`
`
`
`Myth 2: All Air Filters Are the Same`
`
`
`Not all air filters are created equal. Their effectiveness varies widely based on the filtering capabilities and the size of particles they can capture. Remember: the most substantial aspect is not just the product, but how it is implemented and maintained.`
`
`
`Myth 3: Air Quality Issues Only Affect Those with Allergies or Asthma`
`
`
`While it’s true that individuals with respiratory conditions are more susceptible to indoor air pollutants, poor air quality can affect anyone. Long-term exposure to poor air quality can lead to a host of health issues, from minor irritation to severe conditions like heart disease and respiratory infections.`
