Heathy and safer living

Biological Pollutants

What are some biological pollutants? They are things such as mold, mildew, bacteria, various kinds of fungi and dust mite. Dust mites are airborne during vacuuming, making beds, or anytime fabric is disturbed. The feed on things such as dry skin!! Mold and mildew are found in any area that there is a higher humidity level.
How do we know when we have a problem with any of these? The most common reactions to these are watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing, congestion, itching, coughing, wheezing, etc. These all sound like the symptoms of a cold, pneumonia, or another respiratory disorder.
How do we clean up these problems that might develop into more serious problems for us? You can use bleach to kill the critters, but there are safer alternatives. Do you want to introduce into your home something that requires industrial gloves and respiratory protection to clean up? Do not use it for routine cleaning. Use a biocide for cleaning. Look for another alternative. Try to also bring down the humidity levels in rooms where it has been a problem. The humidity levels should be below 50%. For those dust mites---replace the carpeting with hard surfaced floors, and use rugs that can be removed and cleaned.

All of that aside, did you realize that by drinking several cups of green tea daily can help you to loose weight!

I know of some products that can help with your clean up if you would like to contact me. I don't want to give away my secrets!!!
