Growing cannabis is an expanding business that over recent years has taken off. The expansion has stemmed from the new laws that have made medical marijuana and even recreational marijuana use legal in some states around the United States. Because of this, grow houses have increased with more and more people entering into the cannabis market. These grow houses or grow rooms that contain an unknown number of cannabis plants will release a strong, skunk-like odor that will emanate throughout the whole environment. Depending on the strain of cannabis, some can have a stronger odor than others, but when you are dealing with a large grow of the plant inside an area it will be one heck of a task to reduce the cannabis odors no matter the magnitude of the strain odor. If you own a grow house or if you are in the process of developing a grow house it is necessary to learn the ins and outs of controlling and reducing cannabis odors inside a grow room. Indoor Grow Room Odors Grow rooms focus o...

Every day we come into contact with smelly items that will leave an impact on ‘your’ smell. That smell can come from a variety of things that you touch throughout the day including trash, sweaty clothes, cooking odors, or even chemicals that find their way onto your hands. Many chemical cleaners today use harsh ingredients that if exposed to your body, particularly your hands, could leave a lasting odor that can seem impenetrable to remove from the surface of your hands. A commonly used traditional cleaner that can leave a lasting smell on your hands is bleach. Bleach is among the list of favorite cleaners in many households, used to kill bacteria, mold, mildew, viruses, and stains – however, the smell that is produced from this cleaner can be very strong. If you do not wear gloves when handling this cleaner, or your gloves tear when using bleach, the cleaner can make its way onto your hands and last for a long time after the cleaning has taken place. What can you do when bleach finds...

Have you ever stopped to take into account how much time you spend indoors each and every day? Whether you are at home, in the grocery store, at the mall, or even spending 8 hours a day at work. Most Americans work an estimated 40 hours a week and most of this time is spent indoors, inside an office building. Depending on the office building and/or the size of the company, the number of employees held within the building can vary – but with more and more people in a shared indoor space the greater the risk of indoor air pollution inside the confined environment. Inside an office building debris and pollutants can gather including dirt, dust, and other air pollutants which collect and build-up, impacting the air quality. Not to mention – the added impact on renovation or new building construction on the air quality inside the environment. An office that experiences poor indoor air quality can mean or lead to Sick Building Syndrome, which can than lead to sick employees who experience o...

The clothing that hangs on the rack in stores is colorfully displayed for customers with the intent that it will lure patrons in to purchase these items. Some people will quickly grab the clothing, knowing they will purchase it, while others will swiftly go to the try-on room to see what they think of it on their body. During the process of trying on new clothes, you are exposing your body to a plethora of chemicals that can permeate your skin. This can further lead to absorption of the chemicals from the skin into your body – which your body must process and eliminate. While the connection between toxins in your clothing and health issues is a little bit foggy, the studies that have been conducted against these chemicals found in the manufacturing of clothing have shown to be quite hazardous to public health and can include the development of cancer over a period of time. Although this is an extremely rare potential health effect, the likely health effects from these chemicals can ra...

The cold winter weather brings in frigid temperatures and an unbearably cold atmosphere in your home. Sometimes it may feel as though your home is colder than the swirling degrees outside, leaving you running to the furnace to awaken the heat, and even better igniting a cozy warm fire in the fireplace to thaw your freezing body. The fireplace is a commonly used item in most homes during the winter months when the weather is frightfully cold because of its wonderful ability to heat up an environment rapidly – which is exactly what you want when you and your environment are at freezing climates. However, unbeknownst to many people, the fireplace can produce many hazards in the confined space where it is present. When people use their fireplace, chemicals are released into the air, and some of these chemicals are poisonous irritants that can inflame the respiratory tract system. The combination of the winter months and the use of a fireplace can also be an undesirable amalgam, as the sta...

Did you know that fine particulate matter is tiny particles, no bigger than 2.5 micrometers? This matter is so small that it is often compared to human hair to show the significance in size, as human hair is between 50 and 70 micrometers in size. Therefore, the risks of ingesting or inhaling these very small airborne pollution matters is a major threat to public health – especially in indoor environments. According to testing conducted by World Health Organization , it was found that 9 out of 10 people around the world are breathing polluted air. Pollution indoors can be caused by cleaning agents, cooking fumes, new furniture and flooring, building materials, and other external factors emitted into the air by humans. This can lead to large quantities of fine particulate matter inside the confined environment, and conversely can lead to several persisting health issues. What is Indoor Air Pollution Air pollution is usually associated with being outdoors, however, the air inside indoo...
