Bad indoor air quality in your house is typically due to a mix of external and internal causes. The four biggest culprits are indoor pollutants, inadequate ventilation, outdoor pollution, and high humidity. A home air quality test by a professional will determine the sources specific to your home and guide you to the proper solutions.
Simple household products like cleaning chemicals, paints, adhesives, and manufactured furniture release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the indoor air. Furthermore, cigarette smoke, pet dander, mold, and dust mites also contaminate the indoor air with pollutants. They can trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory issues.
With poor air ventilation, indoor pollutants build up and become trapped. Older homes and energy-efficient, airtight homes tend to suffer from this problem. Inadequate ventilation does not allow fresh air in from the outside or allow stale indoor air to escape, and in the long term, the air quality gets worse.
Pollution from outside your home can find its way inside through windows, doors, and your heating system. These include automobile exhaust, industrial pollution, pollen, and wildfire ash. These particles will find their way into your living area once they enter.
Too much moisture in the air creates perfect conditions for mold and mildew, both of which release spores into the air that can be hazardous to your health. Basements, bathrooms, and kitchens are all affected areas if not properly ventilated or dehumidified.
