How Indoor Air Quality Affects Your Health
Mold, pollen and pet dander are ordinary pollution sources in your residence. Other causes include household cleaners and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
VOCs can be released by products in your home, such as building materials, flooring or furniture. They can also be found in various air fresheners and scented candles. High VOCs can cause respiratory irritation, headaches and dizziness, among other issues.
Numerous scientific studies have learned respiratory diseases, asthma and other health problems are due to inferior indoor air quality. Allergies can also be triggered by indoor air quality problems.
10 Signs Your Home has Poor Indoor Air Quality
If your family has symptoms that intensify at home and get better when you leave, you may be suffering from indoor pollution. You should also talk to your doctor if you’re concerned about your health.
- Ongoing cold or flu symptoms. A sore throat or runny nose that never goes away could be connected to air quality. This is especially true if you feel better when you leave your home.
- Watery, itchy or dry eyes. Your eyes are vulnerable to indoor pollution and may react by growing dry, itchy or watery.
- Tiredness or feeling dizzy. Inhaling in chemical pollutants can have an influence on your energy levels.
- Frequent asthma attacks. Dust, pet dander, smoke and other triggers can be spread through the air or get stuck in carpet.
- Coughing and sneezing. Allergies or colds can create these symptoms, but they shouldn’t be worse at home.
- Too much dust despite periodic cleaning. You may need to put in a new air filter or add a filtration system from Wesley Wood Service Experts.
- Humidity problems. Dryness can cause red eyes and worsen respiratory symptoms. Too much moisture can result in mold or mildew growth.
- Stuffy scents. Mold or mildew thrives 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 trouble balancing temperature and humidity.
- Nausea. This can be recoil from the chemicals or pollutants in your home. It can also be a symptom of high carbon monoxide levels. Check that you have a working carbon monoxide detector in your home.
