IAQ refers to the quality of the air inside your home or a building. While you may think your home, office or building is safe, Changing your air filters often is enough, right? WRONG!
Statistics show that the average American spends 90% of their day indoors; That’s where we play, where we sleep, where we truly live. Today, homes are better insulated and sealed than ever, meaning your family might be breathing indoor air that’s less healthy than what’s outside. In fact, indoor pollutants can be five times higher than outdoor pollutants.
So, it is important to ask yourself, am I doing enough to keep my quality of indoor air fresh and clean?
Airborne particles originate from dust, pets, pollen, smoke, diesel exhaust, and other sources. They can often lead to eye, nose and throat irritation.
Carbon Dioxide (C02) within the home is primarily from humans and pets breathing, and any combustion taking place such as candles, gas stoves, etc. Prolonged exposure may result in tiredness and decreased cognition.
Widely used in manufacturing processes by different industries, it is found in numerous items in the home. Exposure may cause irritation of the skin, eyes, nose, and throat. Prolonged exposure may contribute to some types of cancer.
Indoor ozone is primarily a result of outdoor ozone that enters a building. Ozone forms outdoors when air pollutants (emitted by sources such as cars, power/ chemical plants) react chemically in the presence of sunlight. Based on the level (and the person), ozone may cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath, throat irritation, etc.
Refer to tiny particles that float around in your air supply. It can be something as simple as pet dander or skin flakes, but it can also refer to something toxic or dangerous to our respiratory systems such as smoke, dust, dust mites, ash or aerosol sprays. Not to mention the effects that pollen can have on your allergies!
Gases can come from chemicals that were released inside your home or building, or even though that come from outside. Gases can be extremely hazardous such as in the case of formaldehyde, chloroform, carbon monoxide, ammonia, benzene and radon. While you may think that you haven’t had exposure to any of these chemicals or gases, the reality is they come from more sources than you may think! Paint, cleaning products, chemical sprays, combustion gases and even the soil beneath your home could be a source of any one of these gases.
The largest danger to good quality of air is microbials. Perhaps you have heard a story on the news of an individual who found themselves with a mold infection in their respiratory system, you may wonder how this may happen. The answer lies in poor air quality. Germs, bacteria, mold, fungi and viruses all thrive in the most unclear environments. A dirty or unchanged air filter is the perfect environment to create an infectious disaster. Safety is our number one priority here, which is why we recommend you keep your air as clean and disease free as possible.
If not controlled, indoor humidity can lead to excess moisture in the home. Indoor humidity is also a sign of an improperly sized system. If not controlled properly, homes can experience mold growth and occupants may experience dry skin or other health issues as a result.
