Fireplaces & Indoor Air Quality Discussed in New Online Video

PHOENIX - Dec. 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Today, the IAQ Video Network and Cochrane & Associates announced the release of another online video to help educate people about issues that may impact their health.  Their latest educational video discusses the use of wood burning fireplaces and how they can impact the indoor air quality in a home.

According to the EPA’s Burn Wise program, there are approximately 29 million wood-burning fireplaces in the United States.  Although fireplaces can provide warmth and ambiance, they can also create indoor air quality issues if the fireplace is not operating properly.

“Smoke from a wood burning fireplace may smell good to many people, but it's not good for your health,” reports Paul Cochrane, President of Cochrane and Associates, the company behind the IAQ Video Network and the new public outreach video.     “This smoke is made up of a complex mixture of gases and particles that can enter a home from a chimney and flue that has been improperly installed or maintained.  Exposure to these materials can create health concerns.  We hope this new video helps to shed some light on why fireplaces need to be operated properly.”

This educational video was sponsored by a number of organizations and leading industry professionals that help to protect the public’s health. Sponsors include: EMSL Analytical, LA Testing, Mold Solutions, Clark Seif Clark, MBM Insurance Resource Center, Zimmetry Environmental and Healthy Indoors magazine to name a few.
