Your Indoor Air Quality Rogue's Gallery
The air inside your home can be anywhere from a few times dirtier to a few hundred times dirtier than the air outside. Ever wonder how? Well, let's introduce those responsible:
Poor Ventilation
Let's start with the basics. Inadequate ventilation traps pollutants inside your home, leading to a stale and potentially harmful indoor environment.
Allergens
Dust mites, pollen, pet dander – oh my! These microscopic troublemakers can trigger allergies and asthma, turning your home from a sanctuary to a sneezing festival.
Mold & Mildew
Damp areas like bathrooms and basements are prime real estate for mold and mildew growth. Besides being unsightly, they release spores that can worsen respiratory issues.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Found in household products like paints, cleaning supplies, and air fresheners, VOCs release into the air, causing headaches and nausea.
Tobacco Smoke
Lighting up indoors isn't just bad for your health – it's bad for everyone sharing the air with you. Secondhand smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, many of which are known to cause cancer.
Radon
This odorless, colorless gas can seep into your home through cracks in the foundation, posing a serious health risk. Long-term exposure to high levels of radon is associated with lung cancer.
Pesticides
While they may keep pests at bay, pesticides can also linger in your home, contributing to indoor air pollution. Opt for safer alternatives to protect both your family and your environment.
Household Chemicals
From aerosol sprays to disinfectants, many common household products contain chemicals that can compromise indoor air quality. Look for eco-friendly options to minimize exposure.
