DUCTZ of W. Long Island Encouraging Air Duct Cleaning for American Heart Month Rockville Centre, NY - February is recognized as American Heart Month, a time of the year when U.S. citizens are urged to keep cardiovascular health at the front of their mind. DUCTZ of W. Long Island, a local air duct cleaning and restoration business, is doing its part during this month by helping to make local Long Island residents aware of the dangers that poor indoor air can have on the heart. According to the American Heart Association, exposure to air pollution contributes to the development of cardiovascular diseases including heart disease and stroke. There are many components that help to make up air pollution, including pollens, mold, soil, and other particles that can be found in the home. "While these particles may seem small and harmless, they can accumulate in air vents and cause serious long-term problems for homeowners," said John Falvey, owner of the DUCTZ of W. Long Island. "Air duct maintenance can make a world of difference for you and your family's health." DUCTZ of W. Long Island works with home and business owners to improve indoor air quality from the ground up.
