Uncovering the Cost of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Dust, dander, mold spores, combustion byproducts, even gases and chemicals released from furniture, electronics, cleaning supplies and other household items. All of these airborne pollutants are surprisingly common in modern indoor spaces, and they can cause serious problems if left uncontrolled. In fact, the air inside the average home may contain up to five times more contaminants than in the surrounding environment. The consequences of such poor indoor air quality depend on a variety of factors, but effects may include:
- Sneezing, coughing, headaches or fatigue
- More frequent and severe asthma or allergies
- Increased risk of chronic illness or disease
- Poor comfort, mood or mental sharpness
- Difficult, disrupted or low-quality sleep
- Steadily declining HVAC performance
Three Simple Steps Toward a Healthier Home
So, what can you do to combat airborne impurities and restore indoor air quality in your North Texas home? While every situation is unique, managing IAQ ultimately comes down to three key factors. The first, and perhaps most important, is air filtration. The better the air filtration in your home, the more particulate matter and other pollutants you can remove.
The second factor is ventilation, which is often lacking in modern, energy-efficient homes. Increased ventilation provides more fresh air, which aids in diluting and carrying away odors and impurities. Finally, the most overlooked variable is humidity control. Between 30% and 50% humidity is optimal for indoor air quality, but Texas’ wild climate makes this difficult to maintain without the right tools.
