Indoor air quality often suffers due to insufficient circulation. In many homes, pollutants such as dust, dust mites, bacteria, viruses, radon, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well as others, contaminate the air. These pollutants can have a negative effect on our health in many different ways. Even the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 could be floating around in your air.
In today’s blog post from Frank Cullen Inc, we are going to discuss why indoor air quality is so important and how you can improve the quality of air in your home. Read on to learn more, and reach out to Frank Cullen Inc in Sterling today to learn more about our selection of air purifiers.
Immediate Effects of Indoor Air Pollutants
When you spend time in a house that has poor indoor air quality, you may experience some immediate health effects. These can include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, as well as headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. It may also exacerbate preexisting conditions such as asthma or other respiratory health conditions. Most of these side effects are temporary and will begin to subside when you leave the home or begin using an air purifier. Additionally, viruses and bacteria can be spread through the air causing conditions such as COVID-19, the common cold, and influenza.
Long-Term Effects of Indoor Air Pollutants
The longer you are exposed to air pollutants in your home, the more serious the side effects. Long-term exposure to certain pollutants can cause heart disease, respiratory conditions, and even cancer. It’s essential that steps are taken to ensure that pollutants are being removed from the air in your home so that long-term exposure does not occur.
Common Causes of Indoor Air Pollution
Indoor air doesn’t circulate as much as outdoor air, making indoor air quality a real concern, especially since we spend so much time in our homes. Some of the most common sources of air pollutants in our home include:
- Household cleaning products
- Tobacco products
- Fuel-burning combustion appliances
- Building materials
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
- Radon
- Pesticides
- Biological pollutants
