tion, harmful gases or par- ticles can infiltrate the air. By reducing these irritants and pollutants, you can also reduce exposure to patho- gens and conditions that can cause illnesses, respiratory problems and other health risks. Plus, less illness means less absenteeism from work or school. Improved air qual- ity in homes and buildings can pay dividends for years.
MYTH 4: VACCINATED PEOPLE DON’T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THE AIR QUALITY
Debunked: Vaccination is a protection against specific viruses, but not all. Without proper ventilation, filtration and humidity control, there is a higher risk of contaminants circulating indoors and con- ditions that can encourage exposure to airborne viruses. Gases, particulate matter and other pollutants can also af- fect your health, especially if you have asthma or allergies.
MYTH 5: YOU CAN’T SEE AIR QUALITY SO YOU CAN’T FEEL CONFIDENT ABOUT THE AIR YOU BREATHE
Debunked: Sophisticated sensors and technologies are available that help you know and control air quality. According to Jason Bingham, “The first step is awareness and knowing the air quality
within a home or building. Once you understand your air quality and the various factors that impact it, such as ventilation and humidity, you can improve it.”
An air quality sensor can monitor for dust and al- lergens. A filtration system can remove 99.98% of those allergens. And a humidifier can maintain the right bal- ance of moisture.
MYTH 6: IF ROOM TEMPERATURE IS RIGHT, I SHOULD BE OK AND FEEL COMFORTABLE
Debunked: Humidity plays a big part in air quality and comfort: too high or too
low can cause health prob- lems, discomfort, mildew and unhygienic air. Indoor spaces that are the right temperature but don’t have adequate ventilation can contain high concentrations of carbon dioxide, which can lead to drowsiness and headaches.
MYTH 7: THERMAL COMFORT (HOW WE FEEL) HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AIR QUALITY
Debunked: Thermal com- fort is based on temperature and humidity, and humid- ity plays a significant role in air quality. For example, airborne transmission of the
SARS-CoV-2 virus is found to be more transmissible in dry air. As a result, research- ers recommend relative hu- midity of 40%-60%.
Busting these myths is just the tip of the air qual- ity iceberg. Look to Trane Technologies to get to the bottom of indoor air qual- ity solutions and how air quality affects you.
