The Importance of Indoor Air Quality

Many people do not realize just how important indoor air quality is. If pollutants are allowed to build up within a person’s home, it can do a lot more than just cause bad odors. Poor indoor air quality is linked to headaches, burning noses, fatigue, sore eyes, increased allergy symptoms, respiratory issues, and flu-like symptoms. Some studies even show that poor indoor air quality correlates with higher instances of cancer and heart disease.

Potential Causes of Poor Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air QualitySome homeowners assume that their indoor air quality is fine because they can’t smell a bad odor. The truth is that many causes of poor indoor air quality are invisible and odorless. Certainly, smoking indoors and pets can reduce air quality, but so can pollen, dust mites, and radon. Air quality could be diminished due to poor whole-house ventilation.

If you have combustion appliances or a fireplace, poor venting can lead to carbon monoxide. If your home has moisture damage or experiences high humidity, then you could have mold or mildew. VOCs from household cleaning products, pesticides, and paints could reduce air quality. Building materials used in older homes, such as lead, asbestos, and formaldehyde, can reduce air quality.
