Key Environmental Threats in Your Home |

Overcoming Key Environmental Threats:
Cleaner Living |
| |
Threat #1:
Indoor Air Quality
Grease, heat, steam, odor and even hazardous gases are common pollutants that can be found lingering in the kitchen. While the aroma of cooking and baking may smell delicious, cooking vaporizes oil and water contained in food causing a sticky, glue-like film to attach to everything it touches. Therefore, it is critical to remove cooking contaminants before they spread to the rest of the home.

Threat #2:
Water Quality
Tap water contains chlorine, metals and pesticides that wash in from land crops. While these chemicals may be somewhat harmless, ingesting them daily can cause significant health problems such as an increased risk of asthma and even cancer.

Threat #3:
Countertop Cleanliness
Damaging bacteria can be found in raw foods, cleaning rags, sponges and several areas all around the house. Doubling in number every 20 seconds, bacteria spreads rapidly upon contact with your countertops and around your home. Good hygiene practices are essential, however may not be enough to protect you and your family from these germs. |
