How Does the Air Quality in Our Homes Affect Our Health?

Living to 100 Club

This Living to 100 Club podcast invites as its guest Michael Rubino, the founder of Home Cleanse. Home Cleanse is dedicated to addressing poor indoor air quality, a factor that has worsened in recent years. This is especially so as our homes get more energy efficient. Because energy efficiency impacts ventilation and air exchange, particles and toxins can increase. In turn, this contributes to spores and mold growth.

Our guest educates us on the relationship between poor air quality and respiratory-borne illness. He also shares recent research showing how poor air quality contributes to skin conditions, poor cognition, even dementia. We review simple methods to detect poor air quality, and recommended solutions with poor test results. Of great importance is the development of testing platforms that now look at connections between tests for undiagnosed medical conditions ordered by physicians and test results of the assessments. This is an eye-opening conversation with an authority in air quality and environmental wellness advocate.
