Dust has a tendency to accumulate rather quickly, and this can happen even in homes that can seem quite clean. Having a dusty home is more than just an annoyance and an eyesore. You will find that the dust can actually be a health concern too. Research from the Environmental Protection Agency shows that dust and health issues really do go hand in hand, unfortunately. It can cause breathing issues, and aggravate issues for those who are already suffering from breathing problems. Dust can even complicate things for those with heart and lung disease. Even those who are otherwise healthy can have adverse affects from breathing in dust.
What is Causing So Much Dust?
Dust is everywhere in the house, it is in the air ducts, on the counters and bookshelves, the television, and more! Sometimes, keeping that dust out can seem like an impossible battle. Many different things cause dust outside and inside the home. Dirt that gets into the house, shed skin cells, dander from pets, pollen, and a host of other things can get in the home and damage the air quality. Dust might seem like a small thing, but it is never ending, and you need to be able to get a handle on the problem in your own home.
