Indoor Air Quality
Air pollution is an issue that concerns everyone, but we tend to think it only exists outside.
Up to 90% of our time is spent indoors and much of that time is spent at home. Polluted air in your home can negatively affect your family's health.
EPA studies of human exposure to air pollutants indicate that indoor air levels of many pollutants may be 2-5 times and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels.
These levels of indoor air pollutants are of particular concern because it is estimated that most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors.
Unlike outdoor air, indoor air is recycled again and again. This causes it to trap and build up pollutants. Common pollutants include dust, mold and spores, pollen, pet dander and smoke.
Knowing what causes poor indoor air quality and how to detect the problem areas is the first step to cleaner air and a healthier living environment. Some illnesses related to poor indoor air quality may include headaches, nose bleed, fatigue, bronchitis, eye irritation, sinus irritation, dizziness, and symptoms of asthma.
