Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air pollution affects our health and productivity because we spend the bulk of our time indoors, at home, school, work, or other common daily activities. The EPA reports that indoor levels of many pollutants may be 100 times higher than outdoor levels. Being aware of indoor air quality allows you to help maintain a healthy environment.
Cleaners, cosmetics, personal care products, disinfectants, air fresheners, paints, solvents, pesticides, nicotine, glue: the list of chemicals in our homes is extensive. Heavy concentrations of these chemicals can irritate your eyes, nose and throat; cause headaches, loss of coordination and nausea; and can damage your liver, kidneys and central nervous system. Children and elderly are particularly vulnerable, as are pets. In fact, pets are often the ones who show signs of illness first.
Health Effects
Everyone reacts differently to various chemicals. Maintaining healthy indoor environments consists of many factors. There is no one indoor air quality test or laboratory analysis that can reveal the full scope of possible pollutant sources.
