Time to think about the Indoor Air Quality for your Baby?

The amount of air pollution per unit of body weight that children inhale is larger than what an adult inhales.

A Child’s narrow bronchioles are more likely to be erected in response to environmental irritants more so than the bronchioles of grownups. As children grow, their organ systems are under development and their regular growth may be affected when exposed to polluted air.

When you study the health effects of a particular hazard, children are often measured as if they were small adults, however, children represent the largest sub-population vulnerable to the adverse health effects of air pollution. For example, during the first few months after coming to this world, an infant’s metabolic pathways are at development stage and due to the biochemical immaturity, a new born baby cannot detoxify and excrete toxins as well as adults.

It is difficult for an infant to adjust their body temperature, in fact, it’s only after around 18 months - 2 years that these babies really learn how to manage their temperature naturally.  An AC can help to provide the ambient room temperature and perhaps clean air to keep your baby comfortable.
 

Now before you turn on your air conditioner, first of all check if your air con is clean and not blowing mould or bacterial pollution back into the room for your baby and pet to breathe in?

Mould

Mould is a hideous fungus and causes a number of health issues to people who breathe in the polluted air.  Usually, mould is originated in dark and damp areas of your home like the bathroom.  We don’t think to look in the air conditioning system when we look for mould.  The air conditioner is always soggy and it filters the indoor air which creates a build-up of contaminants on the internal coils creating a food source for bacteria and mould to thrive.

Some of the health symptoms from contaminated indoor air include:

• Allergy
• Headaches
• Asthma
• Coughing
• Dizziness and nausea
• Sneezing and shortness of breath

Just cleaning the filters will not help address the mould issue, you will need to engage a professional Air Duct Cleaning Service in Rockville Maryland that specialises in Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning (HVAC) Hygiene. Due to the air conditioner’s ideal environment for mould to thrive, the mould can begin to grow back within as little as just four weeks after having your air con cleaned.  Having the air conditioners professionally cleaned by Air Duct Cleaning Services is a great start to ensuring the mould contamination is not blown back into the room.  To ensure composure an antibacterial treatment should be used on the coils to prevent mould growth for a minimum of 12 months.
