Think your home's air is clean just because it smells fresh? Think again! Indoor air quality (IAQ) can seriously impact your health, comfort, and even your energy bills. Take this true/false quiz to test your knowledge—and learn how to truly breathe easier at home.
Ready? How much do you really know about your home's air quality?
❓ True or False: Indoor air is always cleaner than outdoor air.
False.
Indoor air can actually be 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air outside! Everyday activities like cooking, cleaning, and using synthetic fragrances release harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds), while dust, pet dander, and mold can build up undetected.
❓ True or False: Wildfire smoke can’t affect indoor air quality if windows and doors are closed.
False.
Fine particles from wildfire smoke (PM2.5) can seep in through tiny cracks, vents, and HVAC systems. These particles can trigger asthma, heart issues, and respiratory problems—even when your home is sealed up tight.
❓ True or False: Air purifiers and filters are your best defense against indoor air pollutants.
True—but it’s even better with active technology.
Yes, high-quality HVAC filters and HEPA purifiers help trap pollutants like dust and allergens. But for next-level protection, systems like the REME HALO® and REME HALO-LED® do more than just trap particles—they actively neutralize airborne threats.
These advanced systems use Reflective Electro Magnetic Energy (REME®) to generate hydro-peroxide plasma, a safe, natural cleaning agent that circulates through your HVAC system. This plasma eliminates:
Bacteria and viruses (including airborne SARS-CoV-2 particles)
Mold spores
Odors from pets, cooking, or VOCs
Dust and pollen
Smoke and other particulates
They even reduce allergens and airborne microbes on surfaces, not just in the air!
❓ True or False: Scented candles and air fresheners improve indoor air quality.
False.
Many of these products contain chemicals that release VOCs, which can react with indoor ozone and form harmful byproducts. That “clean” scent might be polluting your lungs.
❓ True or False: Regular HVAC maintenance has no impact on indoor air quality.
False.
Dirty filters and clogged ductwork can spread pollutants throughout your home. Schedule routine tune-ups and change your air filters regularly—especially if you have pets or allergies. Bonus: clean systems work more efficiently, saving you money on energy.
❓ True or False: Indoor air pollutants can cause serious health issues.
True.
Poor indoor air quality is linked to asthma, allergies, respiratory infections, and even long-term lung damage. Kids, older adults, and people with underlying conditions are especially vulnerable.
❓ True or False: Opening windows always improves indoor air quality.
False.
Ventilation is important—but during high pollen days or wildfire smoke events, open windows can actually make things worse. Smart ventilation + air purification is your best combo.
❓ True or False: All air purifiers are equally effective.
False.
Basic filters can only trap particles. The REME HALO® and REME HALO-LED® go further by actively sending oxidizers through your air system to neutralize threats in the air and on surfaces. They’re low-maintenance, long-lasting, and compatible with most HVAC systems.
❓ True or False: Indoor plants significantly purify indoor air.
False.
While they’re pretty and can boost mood, the air-cleaning effects of plants are minimal. You’d need hundreds to make a measurable difference. They’re no match for a dedicated IAQ solution.
❓ True or False: Testing for radon is unnecessary in modern homes.
False.
Radon can affect any home, new or old. It’s a naturally occurring gas and a leading cause of lung cancer. A simple home radon test can help keep your family safe.
💡 What Makes REME HALO® and REME HALO-LED® a Game-Changer?
These whole-home air purification systems work inside your HVAC ductwork to proactively eliminate air and surface contaminants. Unlike standard filters that wait for air to pass through, REME technology actively sends out ionized oxidizers that bond to and break down pollutants right at the source.
