How Indoor Air Quality Affects Your Health
Mold, pollen and pet dander are common pollution sources in your house. Other supplies include household cleaners and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
VOCs can be emitted by products in your home, such as building materials, flooring or furniture. They can also be found in some air fresheners and scented candles. High VOCs can lead to respiratory irritation, headaches and dizziness, among other issues.
Multiple scientific studies have learned respiratory diseases, asthma and other health problems are due to inferior indoor air quality. Allergies can also be worsened by indoor air quality issues.
10 Signs Your Home has Poor Indoor Air Quality
If your family has symptoms that intensify at home and go away when you leave, you may be struggling with indoor pollution. You should also talk to your doctor if you’re anxious about your health.
- Lingering 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 don’t feel sick 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.
- Exhaustion or feeling faint. Inhaling in chemical pollutants can have an influence on your energy levels.
- Frequent asthma attacks. Dust, pet dander, smoke and other triggers can be diffused 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 get a filtration system from Komfort Air.
- Humidity problems. Dryness can cause red eyes and worsen respiratory issues. Too much moisture can cause mold or mildew growth.
- Musty odors. Mold or mildew flourishers when the humidity in your home is too high.
- Hot or cold spots. This can be tied to air quality, especially if your HVAC system is having trouble regulating temperature and humidity.
- Nausea. This can be a reaction to the chemicals or pollutants in your home. It can also be a symptom of high carbon monoxide levels. Check that you have a functional carbon monoxide detector in your home.
