A beautiful Foothill Felines Savannah kitten at about 8 days old.
At HDW Enterprises & Foothill Felines, we understand about the problems of indoor air pollution, which can affect the health and well-being of us all. Unfortunately, sometimes our beloved pets can make this problem even worse with their additional contributions of odors and dander. However, with some research, professional medical assistance, and some experimentation within the home, most people can improve their indoor air quality, control their pet allergies, and live healthier, happier lives.Did you know that, on the average, most people spend 90% of their time INDOORS?!
The E.P.A. rates INDOOR AIR POLLUTION as the nation's BIGGEST pollution problem, especially since the 1970's, which brought us the energy crisis, and more highly insulated homes and buildings, plus all the new chemicals used in construction, which are continually releasing their toxic fumes into the indoor air.
INDOOR AIR POLLUTION Tightly constructed buildings don't breathe and little or no air is exchanged, indoor air is re-circulated, and INDOOR AIR POLLUTION is trapped indoors!! Prior to antibiotics, the best known treatments for allergy and asthma sufferers were to prescribe a trip to the mountains, for the cleansing effect of fresh, ozone-rich air.
DUST
Did you know that 42,000 dust mites can live in only one ounce of dust??! Forty pounds of dust generated per year per 1,500 square feet of space hosting 15 species of dust mites!! Airborne fragments of the mites and their by-products can cause eye irritation, allergies, eye-ear-nose-throat infections, asthma attacks, fatigue and depression.
BACTERIA
Did you know that bacteria are found in your heating and cooling system, house pets, garbage, bathrooms - everywhere in your home??! Bacteria can cause colds, flu, respiratory infections and eye infections.
MOLD SPORES
Did you know that mold spores are found in damp clothing, cleaning materials, your heating and cooling system, and the moisture in your ceilings, walls, carpets and drapes??! Mold spores can cause allergies, sinus headaches, irritability, fatigue and depression.
OTHER SOURCES OF INDOOR POLLUTANTS
CLOTHING: Pollens, oils (from smoke), gases, other allergens and odors, which attach themselves to the fabric. Once indoors, clothing releases allergens, gases and odors into the air.
FURNISHINGS: New carpeting, drapes, furniture and upholstery emit chemical fumes, noxious gases and odors.
CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS: Paint, plywood, particle board (from cabinets, furniture, paneling) emit chemical fumes, noxious gases and odors.
HOME CLEANING PRODUCTS: Furniture polishes, ammonia and other cleaning products emit chemical fumes, noxious gases and odors.
HEATING/COOLING SYSTEMS: Ductwork gathers dust and moisture, creating mold and mold spores, and hosting bacteria and dust mites, and circulates dust, mold spores, bacteria and dust mites throughout the building.
