Indoor air quality refers to the quantity and quality of air inside and around buildings, homes, and other enclosed spaces. It can be affected by pollutants such as mold spores, dust mites, tobacco smoke, pet dander, radon gas, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), combustion products, and other contaminants.
Poor indoor air quality can cause a variety of symptoms, including headaches, nausea, dizziness, eye and throat irritation, fatigue, and respiratory issues. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms while in your home or workplace, it may be a sign of an indoor air quality problem.
The most common sources of indoor air pollution include building materials, furnishings, cleaning products, combustion appliances and sources (such as gas stoves or woodstoves), insects and pests, mold growth, radon gas, tobacco smoke, and pet dander.
An indoor air quality assessment is something every homeowner should consider so that they can discover any issues with the air they’re breathing in their home and develop solutions to rectify those issues. Additional reasons you might need an indoor air quality assessment include:
Oftentimes, air quality problems result from poor ventilation. Poor ventilation is usually the result of an inefficiency that needs to be addressed within a home’s HVAC system. Identifying that inefficiency through an air quality assessment, and then repairing what is causing the inefficiency, can result in a decrease in your home’s monthly energy bill.
Poor air quality can lead to all sorts of health issues. Those health issues can include but are not limited to: headaches, fatigue, nasal irritation, and a scratchy throat. An indoor air quality assessment can detect the indoor air pollutants that cause poor air quality. If left unaddressed, those indoor air pollutants can lead to dangerous respiratory issues, heart problems, and in rare cases cancer.
An indoor air quality assessment can also locate the source of any odors circulating throughout your home. Those odors could be from mold, rodents, smoke, or other airborne pollutants.
Having an indoor air quality assessment can also just diagnose issues that can be addressed in order to just make your home more comfortable. For example, an indoor air quality assessment can recognize high humidity or another factor limiting a homeowner’s comfort level so that a course of action can be taken to improve it.
