MAJOR INDOOR AIR QUALITY POLLUTANTS
If you own a pet, you’re likely to experience poor indoor air quality. Although these amazing companions have many physical and mental health benefits, they can negatively impact
IAQ by releasing dander and fur into your home. Furthermore, dust and pollen from when you went to the park with your dog can get trapped in its hair and carried back into your house. When released in your home, these particles can settle on your furniture and carpet or linger in the air, making life uncomfortable for loved ones with asthma and allergies.
Another unexpected source of indoor air pollution is your cleaning and disinfecting products. Yes, these products are supposed to make your home clean and keep it smelling good. However, a majority of them contain organic compounds (VOCs), which can be harmful to your health. Exposure to these compounds can cause lung and heart disease. Infants and small children are especially vulnerable; exposure to pollutants from cleaning products and air fresheners can potentially lead to premature death.
Your HVAC system is supposed to keep your indoor air clean and breathable. And AC and heating systems indeed live up to their expectations. However, when they’re neglected, dust and other pollutants accumulate in ductwork and other HVAC components. Sooner or later, these are released back into your indoor air, compromising its quality.
Other causes of pollution in your home include but are not limited to:
- Carpet fumes
- Asbestos
- Radon
- Biological pollutants
- Varnishes and paints
