How Indoor Air Quality Affects Your Health
Mold, pollen and pet dander are ordinary pollution sources in your house. Other causes include household cleaners and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
VOCs can be expelled by products in your home, such as building materials, flooring or furniture. They can also be located in numerous air fresheners and scented candles. High VOCs can cause respiratory irritation, headaches and dizziness, among other issues.
Multiple scientific studies have learned respiratory diseases, asthma and other health problems are connected to bad indoor air quality. Allergies can also be worsened by indoor air quality troubles.
10 Signs Your Home has Poor Indoor Air Quality
If your family has conditions that intensify at home and improve when you leave, you may be suffering from indoor pollution. You should also talk to your doctor if you’re anxious about your health.
- Persistent cold or flu symptoms. A sore throat or runny nose that never gets better could be related to air quality. This is especially true if you don’t feel sick when you leave your home.
- Watery, itchy or dry eyes. Your eyes are sensitive to indoor pollution and may react by becoming dry, itchy or watery.
- Fatigue or feeling faint. Breathing in chemical pollutants can have an influence on your energy levels.
- Recurring asthma attacks. Dust, pet dander, smoke and other triggers can be circulated through the air or get trapped in carpet.
- Coughing and sneezing. Allergies or colds can lead to these symptoms, but they shouldn’t be worse at home.
- Excessive dust despite weekly cleaning. You may need to get a new air filter or add a filtration system from Calverley Service Experts.
- Humidity problems. Dryness can cause red eyes and increase respiratory problems. Too much moisture can lead to mold or mildew growth.
- Stale odors. Mold or mildew blossoms when the humidity in your home is too high.
- Hot or cold spots. This can be related to air quality, especially if your HVAC system is having issues controlling temperature and humidity.
- Nausea. This can be a response to the chemicals or pollutants in your home. It can also be a warning of high carbon monoxide levels. Check that you have a operating carbon monoxide detector in your home.
