At first it looked like fog. A check of the news revealed it was smoke from a distant fire. An air quality alert has been issued again today. O, Canada, please put out your forest fires.
Most would believe that particulate matter stays outside. Does it? Inside a big box store yesterday, you could see it hanging in the air. Though you didn’t see haze in your living room, particulate matter (PM) does seep in. Even on more normal days, PM can haunt interiors without your knowing it.
Mechanical Extremes has researched the problem and has two recommendations – replace the air filter in your furnace (both heat and air go through it) and/or install a technically advanced device. Air Scrubber by Aerus is a genius example of high tech. It removes 99% of surface and airborne contaminants. Attached to the furnace, it quietly cleanses, covering up to 3000 square feet. (See video below to find out how it helped eliminate a nasty dust problem).
