What’s in your air?

How often do you think about what’s in the air you’re breathing? Anyone that suffers from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions knows that indoor air quality (IAQ) can be a daily consideration1. Anything from pollen to pet dander can spark a flare-up, so IAQ needs constant attention.

Impacts on your health

Health impacts are often the entry point for understanding indoor air quality, but its effect on health goes beyond breathing. From home comfort to mental and physical productivity to energy efficiency, IAQ has a variety of harmful impacts.

Respiratory and heart issues

The American Lung Association says poor indoor air quality can cause or contribute to a variety of significant health issues, including asthma and lung cancer2. The Environmental Protection Agency says as little as one exposure to pollutants in the air can cause immediate effects, like ear, nose, and throat irritation3.

Mental and cognitive health

Poor IAQ can affect mental health as well as physical health. A Harvard study shows poor IAQ puts brain health at risk4. The same research also found an increased risk of depression and dementia related to poor IAQ.

The Remedy: A Healthy Home

A “healthy home,” refers to a home that is designed, built and maintained to contribute positively towards the health and wellbeing of its occupants. The foundation of a healthy home environment is clean indoor air, created by an effective ventilation strategy.
