What Contributes to Poor Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality (IAQ) can be influenced by numerous factors from both within and outside your home.

• Indoor Pollutants: Common household items such as cleaning supplies, paints, and building materials release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can be harmful at elevated levels.
• Moisture & Humidity: Excess moisture from air leaks, high humidity, or inadequate ventilation can encourage mold and mildew growth, affecting IAQ. High moisture levels can also lead to wood rot and structural damage.
• Inadequate Ventilation: Insufficient ventilation prevents fresh air from circulating and traps indoor pollutants, particularly in moisture-rich areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and attics.
• Outdoor Contaminants: Pollen, dust, and other outdoor pollutants can seep in through doors, windows, or air leaks, exacerbating allergy and asthma symptoms.
• Combustion Appliances: Furnaces, gas stoves, and fireplaces can emit harmful pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide if not properly vented, posing significant health risks.
