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

October 24, 2016

According to the EPA about 90% of our lives are spent indoors, including the office and inside your own Mechanicsburg home. The majority of our exposure to contaminants happens indoors, with indoor air being two-to-five times more dirty than outdoor air. That is why your home’s indoor air quality is vital for good health. So what are some signals that you may need to boost your indoor air quality?

How You Feel

There are a number of physical symptoms of poor indoor air quality in Mechanicsburg, like: fatigue, watery eyes, headaches, coughing, sneezing and a number of others. The symptoms can often be misidentified as other illnesses such as allergies or a cold. If your symptoms seem to go away when you’re outside of the house, it could be an indoor air quality matter.

Odors and Damage

Reduced indoor air quality doesn’t just affect your health; it could damage the items in your home. You could start noticing your walls or ceilings look different, your wood furniture warping or your paint chipping. These are all things that show that you may have poor indoor air quality. There also might be a musty smell that doesn’t seem to go away.
