What is Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality is the condition of air within buildings, structures, and homes. It plays a huge role in the overall health and comfort of your family and pets. When you have a better understanding of what affects the quality of the air in your home, how good or bad quality affects your health, and how you can improve air quality, you can lower your family’s risk of allergies, respiratory problems, and other health issues.

Why Indoor Air Quality is Important

Indoor air quality can affect your overall health, safety, and well-being. Most people spend a huge chunk of time indoors each day. Though they are inside, they may still be exposed to many of the same harmful pollutants and contaminants they would experience outdoors. Over time, this can affect their health in a negative way and cause, contribute to, or exacerbate issues like allergies, asthma, and respiratory problems.

Most Common Factors that Affect Home Air Quality

Though you can’t see the microscopic particles of pollutants in the air inside your home, they can cause damage to your physical and mental health and property over time. Some of the most common factors that affect indoor air quality are:

Smoke from tobacco or cooking
Emissions from appliances, equipment, or vehicles
Volatile organic compounds released from paints, cleaning products, air fresheners, furniture, and more
Byproducts of appliance fuel combustion, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and particulate matter
Mold and mildew
Dust mites
Pet dander
Insects and animals, including rodents and cockroaches
Pesticides and aerosols
Excessive moisture
Use of humidifiers
Poor ventilation
Outdoor air pollution that enters through open doors or windows or cracks and gaps
