Adverse Effects
Poor indoor air quality can often times be worse than outdoor air pollution. Enclosed areas keep contaminants enclosed, creating a prime environment for pollutants to flourish.
Low indoor air quality can lead to a host of health issues, including:
- Chronic Fatigue
- Allergy & Asthma symptoms
- Skin rashes
- Eye irritation
- Nausea
- Coughing
- Poor Concentration
- Chronic Headaches
- Respiratory Infections
Long-term exposure to some chemicals and mold can lead to more serious illnesses, such as cancer. Preventing symptoms and illnesses caused by low indoor air quality is crucial. Your ventilation and filtration systems should be evaluated routinely.
Contributing Factors
Many chemicals, substances and factors can lead to poor indoor air quality, including:
- Cleaning Supplies
- Pesticides
- Mold
- Mildew
- Bacteria
- Dust Mites
- High Humidity
- Construction dust
- Gases and vapors
- Dirty air filter
Pollutants can accumulate in your heating and air conditioning system’s ductwork. The air is then spread throughout your entire business. Too many small particles in your air can harm your HVAC system, including the air handler and compressor. This can lead to breakdowns and repairs, which are costly.
