Did you know that there are roughly 3 billion people still cook and heat their homes using solid fuels such as wood, crop wastes, charcoal, coal, and dung in open fires and leaky stoves? Most of these people are poor, and live in low- and middle-income countries.
Such unproductive cooking fuels and technologies produce high levels of household air pollution with a range of health-damaging pollutants, including small soot particles that penetrate deep into the lungs. In poorly ventilated dwellings, indoor smoke can be 100 times higher than acceptable levels for fine particles. Exposure is particularly high among women and young children, who spend the most time indoors.
New Berlin Heating and Conditioning is an HVAC company in Brookfield, WI that is concerned not just about your comfort, but more importantly, your family’s overall health. For this reason, we partnered with Honeywell to give you the most efficient and modern ways to enhance your indoor air.
Poor Indoor Air Quality and Health
Almost half of the world’s population still cook and heat their homes using open fires and simple stoves burning biomass (wood, animal dung, and crop waste) and coal. Also, over 4 million people die prematurely from illness attributable to the household air pollution from cooking with solid fuels.
Approximately 50% of premature deaths due to pneumonia among children under 5 are caused by the particulate matter (soot) inhaled from household air pollution. Furthermore, 3.8 million premature deaths annually from noncommunicable diseases including stroke, ischaemic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are attributed to exposure to indoor air pollution.

How Humidifiers Can Help
A humidifier uses a humidity-sensing control that turns the humidifier on and off and a water panel that adds water vapor to the circulated air when needed. In dry air conditions, the sensor detects the humidity level and adjusts the amount of added water vapor, giving your skin the moisture it needs and helping to keep your home from drying out.
