How Indoor Air Quality Affects Your Health

Mold, pollen and pet dander are common pollution sources in your house. Other causes include household cleaners and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

VOCs can be emitted by products in your home, such as building materials, flooring or furniture. They can also be detected in some air fresheners and scented candles. Heightened VOCs can lead to respiratory irritation, headaches and dizziness, among other symptoms.

Multiple scientific studies have learned respiratory diseases, asthma and other health conditions are due to bad indoor air quality. Allergies can also be aggravated by indoor air quality problems.

 

10 Signs Your Home has Poor Indoor Air Quality

If your family has symptoms that worsen at home and go away when you leave, you may be struggling with indoor pollution. You should also talk to your doctor if you’re worried about your health.

  1. Lingering cold or flu symptoms. A sore throat or runny nose that never improves could be linked to air quality. This is especially true if you don’t have symptoms when you leave your home.
  2. Watery, itchy or dry eyes. Your eyes are susceptible to indoor pollution and may react by turning dry, itchy or watery.
  3. Exhaustion or feeling dizzy. Breathing in chemical pollutants can have an influence on your energy levels.
  4. Constant asthma attacks. Dust, pet dander, smoke and other triggers can be spread through the air or get trapped in carpet.
  5. Coughing and sneezing. Allergies or colds can lead to these symptoms, but they shouldn’t be worse at home.
  6. Excessive dust despite regular cleaning. You may need to upgrade your air filter or install a filtration system from Rob's Albertan Service Experts.
  7. Humidity problems. Dryness can cause itchy eyes and worsen respiratory problems. Too much moisture can cause mold or mildew growth.
  8. Stuffy scents. Mold or mildew flourishers when the humidity in your home is too high.
  9. Hot or cold spots. This can be related to air quality, especially if your HVAC system is having issues regulating temperature and humidity.
  10. Nausea. This can be a response to the chemicals or pollutants in your home. It can also be a indication of high carbon monoxide levels. Ensure that you have a operating carbon monoxide detector in your home.
