Our partner and favorite Interior Design Expert, Bobby Berk, reminds us “A harmonious home equals inner peace.” A calm exterior leads to a calm interior, and when we are at peace we can be more mindful and productive. At Molekule our mission is to help make your home a sanctuary using science to clean the air, and we also like to provide other methods for peaceful home design.
As we approach the holidays, the usual end-of-the-year festivities are again clouded by concerns about the pandemic. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is continually updating their guidelines for safe holiday travels and get-togethers. If you are having trouble keeping up, you are not alone.
The ability to smell is one of the most powerful human senses. Because of the way your brain processes odors, different scents can evoke strong emotions or memories. They can also help you interpret your surroundings. When you smell something, your brain uses scent cues to help you observe and analyze the world around you. Odors can alert you to fire, mold and other hazards that you may not see at first. Sometimes, if a smell is caused by toxic chemicals, an odor itself can be harmful.
Most people spend around a third of their lives in their bedrooms (assuming you get around eight hours of sleep a night, which is one-third of the day). So, it stands to reason that placing an air purifier near your bed can give you uninterrupted access to clean air for hours at a time.
Wildfires have always contributed to air pollution. However, until recently, most particle pollution in the western United States was created by emissions from vehicles and industrial sources. With the drastic increase in wildfires over the past few years, wildfire smoke has risen to be one of the most abundant — and most dangerous — sources of air pollution in the nation.
This holiday season we’re very excited to partner with interior design expert Bobby Berk who shares our goal of celebrating design that is both functional and aesthetic. The global Covid-19 pandemic has both the party thrower and the party goer thinking a little differently about going out this year, but the basic festive elements are not going to change.
Sleep is essential for mental health, physical health and your overall quality of life. Chronic sleep deficiency can affect brain function and heart health, as well as increase the risk of certain health conditions, such as diabetes, obesity, kidney disease and stroke.
Whether you are returning after a weekend off or months of working at home, you might feel reluctant to head back to the office — especially if your work environment makes you feel uncomfortable. If you often notice yourself feeling unwell while you are in the office, it may be easy to write it off as job-related stress. However, there may be something more going on, especially if you are not the only one experiencing symptoms.
Whether you want to decrease allergens in your home, get rid of a lingering bad odor, or remove unhealthy airborne chemicals, an air purifier can help improve your indoor air quality. However, not all types of air filtration can handle different types of pollutants found in a home. PECO technology, on the other hand, goes beyond traditional filtration methods to trap and destroy not only airborne particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but also many different kinds of organic air pollution.
Concerns about air quality are becoming more common, especially as wildfire season stretches longer each year and air pollution remains a pressing issue. Unfortunately, air pollution is not just confined to the outdoors, but there are steps you can take to protect the air quality in your home. One of the most effective ways is to use an air purifier.
