Fireworks are a hallmark tradition for the Fourth of July, but did you know they increase air pollution by 40%? The spike in air pollution can aggravate symptoms for people with respiratory issues. Take a few steps to keep yourself and your loved ones safe this holiday. 👉 Avoid sparklers and other close-up smoke encounters. It’s better to watch fireworks from a distance. 😷 For those with respiratory issues, wearing an N95 mask can help, according to environmental health experts. The increase in pollution typically dissipates by noon the next day. 🐩 🐈⬛ And don’t forget to check in on your four-legged loved ones as many dogs and cats are afraid of fireworks. Keeping them indoors helps keep them safe. From all of us at Alignment, happy Fourth of July! Celebrate safely ✨

Houses act like vacuums. Hot, humid air escapes through the attic sucking new air up from the crawl space or basement. This air circulation is good to some extent, as it helps keep the air fresh. But it can also disperse mold spores, dander, and other allergens all throughout your home if your crawl space or basement has them. This phenomenon is known as the Stack Effect. To learn more about it and how to control the humidity in your home, check out our latest blog: https://ow.ly/8efp50S93Hb

You know how fresh the air smells after a storm. Lightning changes the oxygen in the air to ozone – one of the strongest sanitizers known to man. Ozone kills bacteria up to 3200 times faster than chlorine bleach. We use the SAN-O3-WASH process – just like the best hotels and hospitals – to give you that same fresh smell in your laundry by injecting ozone into the water. Come see how clean your laundry can be. https://bit.ly/3bpD1XK
