Many symptoms we normally associate with allergies such as sore throat, stuffy nose, and headaches are actually symptoms of poor indoor air quality. Long-term exposure to indoor air pollutants can lead to devastating health consequences including heart disease, chronic respiratory illnesses, and even cancer.
That number has only increased since the COVID pandemic as more adults began working remotely and schools switched to online learning. Nowhere is the indoor air quality (IAQ) more important than in our homes. Yet the IAQ in most houses today falls well below standard. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that indoor air is 8 times more contaminated than outdoors, even in heavily polluted cities. That figure can be even higher in some buildings depending on the number of residents and the year of construction. As many newer homes are tightly built, they often trap toxins inside requiring better ventilation.
Many symptoms we normally associate with allergies such as sore throat, stuffy nose, and headaches are actually symptoms of poor indoor air quality. Long-term exposure to indoor air pollutants can lead to devastating health consequences including heart disease, chronic respiratory illnesses, and even cancer. Some of the most common toxins contributing to poor IAQ in homes are:
Mold
If your home has water damage, a leaky roof or faulty plumbing, then you are at risk of mold contamination. Mold has spores that may contain mycotoxins, which could be poisonous.
Volatile Organic Compounds
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are toxic gasses that can originate from a number of different sources. Common VOCs include formaldehyde, fire retardants, benzene and acetone.
Outdoor Air Pollution
Opening windows and doors in warm weather can help bring in fresh air but with it comes outdoor pollution. Car exhaust, carbon monoxide gas and fumes are all toxins that can infiltrate and contaminate indoor air.
High Carbon Dioxide Levels
High carbon dioxide levels can also negatively impact IAQ. Indoor spaces with elevated CO2 have been shown to adversely affect people’s health. If allowed to accumulate, CO2 can cause drowsiness, fatigue, headaches, dizziness and respiratory problems. Children’s health can also suffer, contributing to more school absences and reduced academic performance.
Indoor Particulate and Dust
Particles are solid or liquid substances that include dust, dust mites, pollen, sulfates, metals and dirt. Light enough to suspend in the air, the largest particles can be seen with the naked eye in a ray of sunlight. It’s the smaller ones that you can’t see that pose the biggest inhalation hazard, as they have the ability to pass right through the nasal cavities and into the lungs.
Recirculation air filtration unit: Continuously recirculates the indoor ambient room air through a multi-stage air filtration system, removing airborne contaminants every time the air passes through the unit. The higher the number of air changes per hour (ACH), the cleaner the air will be.
