Milwaukee, WI Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Facts

Indoor air quality is often over looked in its affect on people's health in comparison to the issue of having clean air outdoors. However Milwaukee, WI residents typically spend more time inside their home and other buildings than they do outside, which means indoor air quality can more directly affect their health. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has estimated that the level of indoor air pollution may be up to five times higher than outdoor air pollution. Therefore, indoor allergy and asthma victims may be suffering needlessly from allergens such as dust, pollen, pet dander and dust mites in their Milwaukee, Wisconsin homes.

Fortunately, Milwaukee indoor allergy symptoms can now be reduced with the air purifying capabilities of a Beam central vacuum system. Central vacuum systems have been clinically proven to be effective in reducing allergies in a study conducted by doctors from the Division of Rheumatology, Allergy and Clinical Immunology at the University of California-Davis School of Medicine. Allergy patients in the study who used a Beam Central Vacuum System rather than a conventional vacuum experienced relief in the following areas:

• 44% improvement in sleep-related symptoms
• 47% reduction of nasal symptoms
• 48% reduction of non-nasal symptoms
• 61% improvement in both emotional and eye symptoms
• 52% reduction in practical problems
• 46% experienced less of an impact on normal work or leisure activities

Due to the results of the UC-Davis study, the American Lung Association has added the central vacuum system to the standards for it's Health House National Demonstration Program. Also, many of the top green building programs offer recommend central vacuum systems for becoming "green" certified and many home builders in Milwaukee, Wisconsin provide central vacuum systems as a feature to improve Indoor Air Quality.
