Impacts Of Poor Indoor Air Quality On Our Health

We often hear of ways to stay healthy. Recommendations of which food to eat, limiting screen time, healthy sleep schedules are common examples. What we don’t hear enough about, is indoor air quality. From our homes to public buildings, science has confirmed the effects from contaminated air.

First, lets discuss why we are seeing an increase of indoor air pollutants. Today’s homes and structures are built for energy efficiency, they are sealed nice and tight. However, the problem is we spend most of our time indoors and unfortunately VOC’s and other contaminants are trapped in our energy efficient homes. We are continuously exposed to allergens, viruses, bacteria, dust, contaminants and it is weighing on our health. Some health effects can be seen within days, weeks or some could take years. So, what does science have to say about this?

According to the EPA, the connection between indoor air and health effects are greatly connected. Mild effects from poor indoor air quality include headaches, fatigue dizziness, respiratory diseases, irritated eyes, nose and throat. Asthma symptoms are triggered and become worse by allergens, dust, mold and pet dander in the air. In one extreme case, one form of pneumonia was found to be directly related to a poorly maintained HVAC systems. The circumstance of symptoms appearing more prominent in one person compared to another depends on preexisting conditions, age and other factors.
