Effects of Poor Indoor Air Quality

Since we spend much of our days and nights either in the office or at home, it’s vital to ensure the air in those spaces is clean and pollutant-free. But all too often, indoor air quality can lead to poor health. According to the Environmental Protection Agency:

• Poor indoor air quality is one of the top five risks to public health
• 90% of respiratory problems can be attributed to poor air quality
• If there is a smoker in your home, the air quality worsens dramatically

IPoor indoor air quality in your home or workplace can have both immediate and long-term effects on your overall health. Some short-term effects of poor indoor air quality include:

• Irritation of eyes, nose and throat
• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• Exacerbated allergies

These reactions can stem from a range of pollutants and depend largely on an individual’s sensitivity to the pollutant. Someone with a severe dust mite allergy, for example, will react more strongly to dust pollutants than someone without such an allergy. Some of the long-term effects of indoor pollutants include:

• Respiratory diseases
• Heart disease
• Cancer
