How Healthy Is Your Home?

If you’re wondering how healthy your home is…wonder no more!  We can help you determine the health status of your home and we can show you how easy it is to make your home a healthy home.

The first step is to do a Healthy Home assessment.  In this first step towards a Healthy Home, we will perform a visual inspection of the home, take an inventory of air filtration and water filtration systems (if you have any) and perform an indoor air quality test to see what your starting point is.

We will check for the following:

1. What are your airborne dust levels in the air in the home
2. What are the dust levels coming from vents
3. What are your vacuum cleaners emitting into the air
4. Do you have adequate ventilation
5. Are there odours
6. Do you have gases
7. Are there hidden moisture issues
8. Are there hidden mould issues
9. What water filtration do you have
10. Allergy and medical questionnaire

From the above healthy home assessment, we can better assist you in making your home a healthy home for you and your family.  Why live in a home that has inadequate ventilation, has excessive dust in the breathable air, has odours, mould and has water with dangerous contaminants for bathing and drinking.  Why live with an indoor environment that does not filter out pollutants and create oxygen for health and well being.

A Bionic healthy home products company can do all of these things.  Pure, fresh clean air and water for a healthier life.

Prevent Household Transmission of COVID-19.  New Study finds coronavirus may be alive and airborne for up to 3 hours.

More information and more studies are coming out every few days.  It would appear through the latest research published in the New England Journal Of Medicine that COVID-19 is similar to SARS in 2003 that it can be transmitted through the air. The recent study found that COVID-19 can stay alive in the air for 3 hours, on cardboard for 24 hours and on plastic for 3 days.

Coronavirus survives hours in air, 3 days on surfaces, study finds

This creates a new threat for people self isolating as well as businesses trying to return back to normal.  These studies would suggest that having air purification in your home and other indoor environments such as offices is essential in winning the battle against the coronavirus.

Prevent Summer Allergies With Best Air Purification

Indoor allergies this summer are estimates to be anywhere from high to very high, with hot and humid days and elevated air pollution.  This means that allergy sufferers in Toronto and the GTA will have a tough time this summer unless they have a healthy home with good indoor air quality and the best air purification.

Hot temperatures, high humidity, elevated particles, and allergens such as dust, pollen, ragweed, and mold spores as well as poor ventilation and chemical off-gassing such as VOC’s can make a Toronto summer a tough place to spend indoors.

As outdoor pollution increases on hot summer days and the outdoor allergens increase, your indoor air quality and the status of your home can make the difference between having allergic reactions and enjoying your healthy home.

Air purification systems are one of the most important indoor air quality systems to prevent indoor allergic reactions.  Whether you are using a central air purification and air filtration system or portable HEPA air purifiers, you need to get the dust and allergens out of the air that you are breathing.

Common Indoor Allergens:

• Fine particle dust
• Fibers
• Mold Spores
• Bacteria
• Virus
• Pollen
• Ragweed
• Oak
• Pine
• Cedar
• other allergens

Air purification systems are the first line of defense in making sure your indoor air quality is providing you with a healthy home and making your home a safe haven or sanctuary from outdoor pollutants.  Only properly designed and properly built indoor air quality filtration and air purification systems can protect you from summer allergies indoors.

Your home should have as the first line of defense a quality and highly efficient furnace filter that does not restrict airflow through your heating and cooling system.  The Bionic Cimatec furnace filter system is ideal for keeping your furnace and your duct system clean.  The second line of defense is a state-of-the-art central HEAP air filtration system that filters 99.97% of airborne dust and particulates of 0.3 microns or larger.  Ideally, allergy sufferers will also have a UV air purification system to prevent bacterially and mold build up in the air conditioning and duct system.  These UV air purification solutions can also kill 99.99% of airborne bacteria and viruses to provide you with the ultimate air protection.

So in summary, you can prevent summer allergies by staying indoors on high pollution days which are common in Southern Ontario.  However, you will need to have the 3 air filtration and air purification systems like the furnace filter, central HEPA and the UV disinfection system to have the best air purification system.

Other factors that will influence indoor allergies will be temperature as well as relative humidity.  Temperatures indoors should be in a range of 21 to 23 degrees and relative humidity should be 50% to 65%.

Air ventilation is also important and your home should have adequate fresh air coming into the home to keep airborne chemicals and gases allow as possible.

How To Get Great Indoor Air Quality This Summer

With the first wave of COVID-19 starting to wind down in the last few days, we are getting more calls now for clients interested in making sure they are healthy this summer. This is how you get great indoor air quality this summer.

The biggest issue in Southern Ontario in the summer months are humidity and allergens. Humidity makes the heat and higher temperature seem uncomfortable. Humidity also manages bacterial and viral growth including mould spores. Humidity either too low or too high can have negative indoor air quality results.

For a healthy home this summer these are the 3 indoor air quality parameters that are the most important.

Top Three Things Needed For Best Indoor Air Quality This Summer:

1.Air Conditioning
2.Air Purification
3.Ventilation

Air conditioning keeps indoor temperature as well as indoor relative humidity levels at comfortable and healthy levels. Make sure your indoor humidity does not get too high this summer. Solution? Air Conditioning keeps relative humidity at comfortable levels.

To Prevent Viral Spread Indoors, Relative Humidity Must Be Maintained Between 40%-60%

Air purification is important in making sure outdoor allergens such as pollen, ragweed and mould spores provide a safe haven or sanctuary from seasonal allergies. These days with a potential viral spread, air purification is also crucial in controlling airborne viruses and airborne mould spores indoors. Having an efficient furnace filter is not enough. Ordinary pleated furnace filters only protect your furnace and ductwork. They are not very efficient in purifying the air that you breathe. We have air purification systems designed to control outdoor as well as indoor bio-threats.

Lastly, ventilation is crucial to keep outdoor allergens as well as indoor air pollution from affecting the health of your family. Poor ventilation leads to an accumulation of airborne bacteria, airborne viruses, airborne mould spores and airborne dust allergens. Poor ventilation also leads to an increase in gases and VOC’s and is usually the leading cause of odours indoors.
