How to Tell If You Need to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

October 24, 2016

According to the EPA almost 90% of our lives are spent indoors, including the office and in your own Zelienople home. A lot of our exposure to contaminants takes place indoors, with indoor air being two-to-five times more contaminated than outdoor air. That is why your home’s indoor air quality is vital for better health. So what are some signs that you may need to improve your indoor air quality?

How You Feel

There are quite a few physical symptoms of bad indoor air quality in Zelienople, like: fatigue, watery eyes, headaches, coughing, sneezing and a variety of others. The symptoms can often be incorrectly identified as other illnesses such as allergies or a cold. If your symptoms seem to disappear when you’re outside of the house, it might be an indoor air quality matter.

Odors and Damage

Poor indoor air quality doesn’t just play a role in your health; it might damage the items in your home. You might start noticing your walls or ceilings look tarnished, your wood furniture warping or your paint chipping. These are all signs that you could have reduced indoor air quality. There also might be a musty smell that is always around.
