Indoor Air Quality in Metro Atlanta
Indoor air quality (IAQ) isn’t just an industry buzzword; it’s important to your health. Many studies have shown that indoor air can be much more polluted than outdoor air, even in highly industrialized cities.
Here are a few key ways poor indoor air quality can affect you, your family, and your home.
Health Impact
Poor indoor air quality can lead to various health issues, including respiratory problems, allergies, asthma, and other respiratory diseases. Contaminants such as dust, mold, pollen, and pollutants can exacerbate existing health conditions.
Productivity & Comfort
Clean and fresh air contributes to a comfortable and productive indoor environment. Poor-quality air filled with contaminants can lead to discomfort, fatigue, and a decrease in overall well-being, which can, in turn, affect productivity and concentration.
Respiratory Conditions
High levels of indoor pollutants can trigger or worsen respiratory conditions. People with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or cystic fibrosis, are particularly sensitive to it.
Allergies & Sensitivities
Indoor air pollutants such as dust mites, pet dander, mold, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can trigger allergies and sensitivities. Improving indoor air quality can alleviate symptoms for those who are allergic or sensitive to these substances.
Long-Term Health Effects
Prolonged exposure to pollutants may contribute to long-term health issues, including cardiovascular diseases and respiratory disorders. Ensuring good indoor air quality is a preventative measure to reduce the risk of these health problems.
Routine HVAC system maintenance can help prevent many indoor air quality issues.
