Sussex-based Vent-Axia, a leading British ventilation manufacturer, is urging households to check their ventilation filters for Clean Air Day on Thursday, 20 June 2019. Clean Air Day is co-ordinated by environmental charity Global Action Plan and aims to raise awareness of the risks of air pollution and the simple things everyone can do to improve their air quality and health. One simple thing households can do to help improve indoor air quality and their health is to check whether the air filters in their ventilation systems need cleaning or changing.
Many households in new build properties may be unaware that their whole house ventilation systems, such as mechanical ventilation with heat recovery (MVHR), have filters that need to be checked every three or six months, cleaned regularly and replaced twice a year. The purpose of an MVHR filter is to filter out microscopic particles like PM2.5 (including fine diesel particulates) dust and pollen so they are not brought into the home from outside. However, a dirty blocked filter can recirculate these particles into the home adversely affecting indoor air quality (IAQ). Dirty filters can also affect the efficiency of the ventilation system which affects its effectiveness.
“We are pleased to support Clean Air Day as it continues to raise awareness of the importance of clean air, particularly indoor air quality, and how everyone can make changes to improve their IAQ and their health.
