Is the Air in Your Home Safe to Breathe?
Is the air inside your home safe to breathe? It may surprise you to learn that the average person spends about 90 percent of their time indoors, whether at home, school, or work. According to the EPA, indoor air can contain two to five times more air pollutants compared to outdoor air.
Nowadays, with people spending more time at home than ever before, ensuring good indoor air quality (IAQ) is a priority for homeowners and their families. Environix provides home air quality tests and a range of clean air solutions and services to promote healthier and safer indoor air.
The Significance of Indoor Air Quality in Your Home
Are you confident about the air quality in your home? Have you considered the following pollutants that might be present:
Carbon monoxide
VOCs (Volatile Organic Chemicals), commonly found in cleaning products
Pet dander
Mold
Viruses, germs, and bacteria
Certain pollutants, like carbon monoxide (CO), can arise from poorly burned or vented fuels in your heating system. CO is a harmful gas that lacks color, smell, or taste, but CO detectors and regular heating system maintenance can effectively detect and prevent such issues. An energy audit can also identify problems with underperforming space and water heating equipment.
Other chemical pollutants present in your home can cause discomfort, such as irritated eyes, noses, and throats, and may exacerbate asthma symptoms in some individuals. Biological pollutants like pet dander and mold can also contribute to allergic reactions and respiratory problems like asthma.
