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

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. Mini Bio Michael is an air quality expert, environmental wellness advocate, founder, speaker, podcaster, author, father and husband. On a mission to bridge the gap between our homes and our health, Michael put his background in construction and remediation to good use. He founded All American Restoration in 2017 which more recently became HomeCleanse, an organization that operates in 50 states. HomeCleanse has become America’s go-to source for information, services, and products to create healthier living through cleaner indoor air. He is also the president of Change the Air foundation, a nonprofit organization giving every person the knowledge, resources, and support to achieve better health. This is accomplished by breathing safe indoor air, through education, impacting public policy and funding research. Michael's website: Home Cleanse
