With people spending an average of 90% indoors, the quality of your indoor air is paramount. Several things can affect the quality of the air, such as VOCs, particulate matter, and microbes. Health effects from indoor air pollutants may include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.
Preventative measures like adequate ventilation, filtration, and removal of pollutants can improve the quality of the air exponentially. Having an indoor air quality assessment performed when purchasing a home is especially important if you or a family member suffers from allergies or breathing issues like asthma or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease).
