Removing Allergies from a Mobile Home for Better Air Quality
from:Allergies are everywhere in the world and some are affected more than others by these allergies. There are efforts everywhere to improve the air quality around us. The EPA has implemented many laws in conjunction with The Clean Air Act to clean up our environment, but pollution continues to be a problem. It's this pollution that is affecting the environment and causing or worsening certain respiratory problems in people everywhere.
Recent studies have shown that individuals living in certain mobile homes may be triggered by reactions from allergies from mobile home air quality not being what it should. In Louisiana and Mississippi, FEMA supplied many families with mobile homes as temporary living quarters. Unfortunately, many of these homes have formaldehyde in them, which causes allergies. Mobile home air quality has been tested in these homes to ensure the safety of the residents. Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a very strong smell. It's used a lot in the building of homes and home products including furniture, cabinets and walls in mobile homes and trailers.
Even if the tenants are not bothered by allergies, mobile home air quality in these homes is still at question by FEMA, who is doing the testing. Individuals that have breathed a lot of formaldehyde may experience symptoms such as cough, sore throat, scratchy eyes and nosebleeds.
Mobile home residents not living in FEMA assisted homes are often still affected by allergies. Mobile home air quality is seldom as healthy as you find in traditional homes with proper ventilation. The square footage is not usually as well spread out as you find in a traditional stick built home. Many new homeowners have central air or window air conditioners so they don't suffer through many of the long hot humid days of summers. Extreme heat, humidity and stuffiness in these mobile homes will often bring out dormant allergies in a mobile home. Air quality can be improved by having proper ventilation in the home as well as keeping it as pollutant free as possible.
Some pollutants that will cause allergies and affect mobile home air quality are indoor pets such as dogs and cats, smoking or improperly vented heating and cooking appliances. There are many tests you can get today to help test the air quality in your home as well as air quality monitors. These utilities are excellent for helping your provide the best possible air quality in your home. Many organizations also exist for those that want to check the air quality in their home. Small utilities such as carbon monoxide detectors can also be purchased to be used by the homeowner.
