The Importance of Indoor Air Quality
Indoor air quality Phoenix AZ is very important. Breathing is imperative to staying alive. But just how clean is the air you breathe? Sure we spend a large part of our daily lives inside our homes but just how often do we consider the importance of our home’s indoor air quality? The simple truth is that the air inside our homes may be of greater importance than you may think.
The Environmental Protection Agency has identified indoor air pollution (aka dirty air) as one of the 5 top environmental risks to your and your loved one's health. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA):
- Your home’s air may be 80% more toxic than the air outside
- The average American spends 90% of their time indoors (whether it’s at work, school, the store or at home)
- 10% of colds are caught outdoors
- 90% of colds are caught indoors
In addition to these facts, the symptoms of asthma and allergies can also be worsened by the presence of polluted air within your home.
What Causes Indoor Air Pollution?
The primary cause of indoor air pollution is directly linked to substances that release gases or particles into the air you breathe. These include tobacco, gas, oil, wood, coal, asbestos-containing insulation, wet or damp carpeting and household cleaners. Poor ventilation can cause indoor pollution levels to increase. In addition, hot climates and humidity levels can increase the concentration of some of the most common pollutants.
