Indoor Air Quality
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)
Quick Definition
The overall healthiness of air inside your home, affected by pollutants, humidity, and ventilation
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the condition of air inside your home and how it affects your family's health and comfort. Poor IAQ can cause immediate health problems like headaches and fatigue, as well as long-term issues like respiratory disease.
What You Need to Know
Indoor air is often 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air due to trapped contaminants from cleaning products, furniture, building materials, and outdoor pollution that seeps indoors. Poor ventilation makes the problem worse by preventing fresh air circulation.
Why It Matters for Your Home
Americans spend 90% of their time indoors, making IAQ crucial for health. Children, elderly family members, and those with asthma or allergies are especially vulnerable to poor air quality. Symptoms include headaches, fatigue, respiratory problems, and skin irritation.
How to Assess IAQ
Professional air quality testing can measure pollutants like VOCs, particulates, carbon dioxide, and humidity levels. Testing identifies specific problems and guides targeted solutions rather than guesswork.
When to Get Professional Help
If family members experience unexplained health symptoms, persistent odors, or visible mold, professional IAQ assessment can identify the source and recommend effective solutions.
