Indoor air pollutants have both long- and short-term effects. Immediate problems can include throat and nose irritation, headaches, dizziness and fatigue. Long-effects of indoor air pollution are linked to COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), heart disease and cancer. For the health and well-being of you and your family, it is absolutely critical to identify any indoor air pollutants that may be causing these problems and take the necessary steps to remove these problems from the air you breathe. Even if you are not currently experiencing any immediate symptoms, you may still have an indoor air pollution problem that could present serious issues over time. When it comes to indoor air pollution, just because you don't see or feel a problem doesn't mean there isn't one.
Indeed, according the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the air inside your home is five times more polluted than the air outside. Considering that here in the Philadelphia area is considered one of the most polluted areas in the country, that’s a big problem.
Where does all this indoor pollution come from?
Tiny particles, some too small to see, make their way into your home’s air – and into your lungs – from outside every time one opens a door or a window. Dust and pollen, mold and bacteria, and viruses also come in with the people and animals that go in and out of your house. Once in, they don’t leave so easily. These are not the kind of house guests you want staying around. In fact, if your home has wet conditions, it provides a friendly environment for particles to thrive and multiply.
Cooking fumes, paints, pets, perfumes and cleaning supplies, further contribute to stale and foul air. Without proper filtration, ventilation and/or humidification, these contaminants continually build up and make the air inside your home uncomfortable and unhealthy. The problems don’t just affect people, but your house itself—indoor air pollution is a major cause of warping and deterioration of furniture and building materials.
