Indoor Air Quality - Are You At Risk?

The EPA lists indoor air quality (IAQ) as one of the top 5 known environmental risks. Everything from headaches to allergies and asthma can be attributed to poor air quality in your home or office. The quality of air inside a building can be anywhere from 2 to 100 times WORSE than the air outside of it!

Poor home indoor air quality is usually caused by poor circulation. Modern houses are built to prevent the loss of costly air-conditioning. While this may save you money on your electric bill, it also allows a buildup of many harmful materials. Fumes from cleaners, pollen from outside, cigarette smoke and carbon monoxide all contribute to poor air quality in your living, working, or play space.

 

Regular cleaning and vacuuming of your home can help reduce pollutants in the air. This does not eliminate them entirely though. Testing the air in your home or office is an important step towards leading a healthy life.

You can buy kits to test the quality of air in your home. These can include test for the most common pollutants and Petri dishes for mold and bacteria. These testing services can also be performed by industrial hygenists in your area.

Once you conclude that you have poor indoor air quality, there are many types of filtration systems that can be used to cleanse your home. These can include electronic air purifiers that reduce the amount of pollutants in your home, as well as the risks associated with them. You can also eliminate another source of the problem by having your heating/cooling ducts cleaned on a regular basis.
