The EPA
Water runs over rural town streets, suburban lawns treated with fertilizer and pesticides, and agricultural lands that may also have been treated or have animal feeding operations, and into our rivers and streams. Off gassing of VOCs from household items (like dry cleaned drapes or other clothing, or particle board furniture or cabinets) is also a source of VOCs. However, if I buy an energy efficient fluorescent bulb that replaces that 100 watt bulb, it draws only 23 watts, so now I could burn it over 43 seconds for the same cost. Examples of large power consuming items might be an electric tank water heater (5000 watts), or an electric dryer (which uses both voltages, 120 VAC for the motor that turns the drum and 240 Volts for the heating element) that can draw 4000 watts or more. The EPA has been working on implementation standards for years. At any time, you can see the actual voltage of the outlet, the number of days it has been monitoring, and the total KWH consumed. Pet dander because it is very light and very small, pet dander is three of the most irritating and a difficult task to remove allergens The first step in making sure that your family has the cleanest possible air is knowing where the pollutants come from. Understanding the specifications and ratings (and how they are determined) will really help you make a better buying decision.
With some diligent work, you may be able to drop your power use by half, and even if you dont decide to go solar to electric power in the end, you will still be living green because you are using less of our valuable resources and the commercial trash compactors. Power towers must be large to be economical. A spark from a motorized pump is thought to have set off the blast. .
