Indoor Air Quality: What It Means to You and Your Family

As you might figure out, indoor air quality is all about the quality of the air inside your living spaces. It goes unseen, which is why it’s usually not on the minds of most homeowners. Unfortunately, neglecting your indoor air quality can have a negative effect on your health and home. Poor air quality can affect your health by increasing the occurrence of allergy, asthma, and respiratory symptoms. Improving your air quality can make a huge difference in your family’s health and comfort.

Common Issues Caused By Poor Indoor Air Quality

The level of contamination inside your home is much higher than outdoors, where natural ventilation lowers the concentration of contaminants in a space. Because of the lack of ventilation indoors, the contaminants are trapped inside with you. Certain contaminants can cause a higher occurrence of asthma and allergy symptoms, worsen respiratory issues, or cause more serious problems.

Poor indoor air quality can cause problems even in the healthiest of people. If you’re experiencing cold-like symptoms, it may not be because of a common cold; these symptoms can be caused by poor air quality. Because these symptoms are typically associated with colds, they’re easily overlooked, and so are air quality problems. If you or a family member is experiencing ongoing cold-like symptoms, don’t ignore the possibility that your air quality could be to blame.

Common pollutants that worsen indoor air quality include:

Dust
Pollen
Pet dander
Dust mites
Carbon monoxide
Volatile Organic Chemicals (VOCs)
Microbial growth
Dirt
