We have
polluted the air outside and damaged the ozone.
What about the air inside?
Americans spend 90% of their
time indoors, at home or the office. Dust and dirt enter our homes and
are trapped in the pad of our carpets.
Germs have no means of locomotion
unless they attach themselves to particles of dust. Dust mite excrement
is highly prone to cause allergic reaction. These microscopic dinosaurs
live close to their food source - dead skin. Our beds can become their
cafeteria and breeding ground. If we had to pay for our
air we would insist that it was clean and pure. Our duct work is full of
mold, mildew, dust and bacteria. Modern homes are becoming more and more
energy efficient which means they allow for almost no fresh air to circulate
through the house. Nature destroys germs and dust outdoors but our energy
efficient homes keep nature out and germs in.
Look at a ray of sunshine
in your house. 80% of what you see floating in that ray is dead skin from
people who have been in the house.
Nature cleans air this way:
The sun gives off electrical charges, changing some positive particles
in the air to a negative charge. These negative particles attach themselves
to a positive particle and they join becoming too heavy to stay airborne.
As nature's most powerful oxidizing agent, ozone reduces the contaminants
to harmless natural substances.
