Checking Your Indoor Air Quality

If you or your family suffer from allergies or any illness caused by poor indoor air quality, this blog entry is for you. We discuss not only what could potentially be in the air you're breathing within your home, but also discuss how to treat and remove the pollutants in your home, business, or school.

When you think of air pollution, the quality of the air inside your home most likely isn't the first thing you think of. Illusions of smoke-stacks, high-traffic highways, and roads filled with vehicles emitting carbon dioxide, or you probably think of smoggy haze frequent in larger, more populated cities. However, did you know your indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air?

People spend between 75-90% of their time indoors and indoor air quality can be 2-5 times more harmful than outdoor air. This is due to multiple factors including poor ventilation, candles, smoke, pet dander, aerosols, failure to replace the A/C filter, and other VOC's (volatile organic compounds). Your lungs are responsible for breathing in and filtering the impurities you breathe in. Poor indoor air quality makes it difficult for your lungs to filter the impurities which can negatively impact the efficiency of your lungs and cause health issues associated with poor indoor air quality. Health issues such as premature death among people with heart or lung disease, nonfatal heart attacks, irregular heartbeat, asthma, decreased lung function, and respiratory issues.
