When I was much younger I used to love to enroll in art classes at school, and spent all of my free time practicing the drawing and painting techniques as I learned them. I was constantly locked in my bedroom with a paintbrush in hand, playing around with new paint types and color palettes. The time flew by as I worked on creating new art, and I’ll never forget the sense of peace I felt as I was working. Recently, I’ve begun painting once again. This time, however, rather than painting on canvas I generally work on pieces of vintage furniture. I’m working on selling my pieces, so I spend an inordinate amount of time in our basement fixing up each piece with great focus. The only problem is I could really use to improve the ventilation in my work space. As far as I know, the paint fumes are non-toxic, but I still don’t think I should be breathing in contaminated air like that. Who knows what chemical compounds are floating through that stuffy basement air, circulating endlessly and being dispersed through the whole house via the network of ductwork. I know it can’t be high quality, healthy air that my family and I are breathing each day. That’s why I’m looking into purchasing a compatible air purification system that hooks right up to my current HVAC plan. That way, the polluted air will pass through several sets of high tech air filters, removing any hazardous airborne contaminants before it’s sent through the air ducts to the whole house. Hopefully we’ll save a few lungs!
