INDOOR AIR QUALITY

BREATH EASIER WITH CLEAN INDOOR AIR

Why worry about indoor air quality? Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors where concentrations of some indoor pollutants can be two to five times more potent than what is commonly found outside! Breathing poor indoor air can have both short and long term effects on the health of the occupants. Inferior indoor air quality may also affect the efficiency of your HVAC system.

INDOOR AIR QUALITY’S EFFECT ON HEALTH
 

Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can have dangerous effects on your short term health. Indoor air may contain toxins known as Volatile Organic Compounds or VOC’s, which are emitted from carpets, furniture and even some indoor air sprays and certain cosmetics. If any of your home appliances or comfort systems are malfunctioning, it’s also possible you could have undetectable carbon monoxide. (A side note: It’s smart to install a carbon monoxide detector along with smoke detectors in your home.)

Some short term health concerns of poor IAQ are:

Headache
Headaches
Nausea

Nausea

Dizziness
Dizziness
Fatigue
Fatigue
IrritatedNose
Irritated Eyes, Nose or Throat
These symptoms can sometimes be passed off as something less serious like the common cold or other viral infection. To know for sure, pay attention to the frequency of the symptoms or if they lessen or go away completely when you’re away from an area. Of course, any ongoing health issues should be referred to your health professional.
Left unaddressed, poor IAQ may also contribute to much more serious long-term health conditions or diseases, such as:
