Air pollution is often associated with outdoor air quality, but the air inside your house can actually be worse than the air outside. Here’s what to do:
Invisible pollutants like radon can build up over time in indoor environments, some reaching higher concentrations than typical outdoor air. Aside from the dust and dander that you might expect to contaminate indoor air, many indoor air quality contaminants are actually generated indoors from combustion, building materials, carcinogens in cleaning supplies, insecticides, and natural sources.
How Does Indoor Air Quality Impact Your Health?
On the annoying side, you have dust and dander, which can cause symptoms like sneezing and itchy eyes. On the more serious side, poor indoor air quality can cause all sorts of ailments such as headaches, respiratory disease, heart disease, and even cancers.
On top of causing symptoms like fatigue and runny noses, indoor air quality issues can actually cause you to get sick more often, since viruses can enter your home, land on high-touch surfaces, and move around via your HVAC system. Improving your indoor air quality can drastically affect how your family feels during flu and allergy season, kill viruses and germs, reduce the risk of transmission of airborne viruses, and make it easier for anyone—especially those with asthma and allergies—to breathe comfortably in your home. There are a variety of Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) products, but not all products are created equally, and many products need to be sized for your particular home and HVAC system.
