How to Tell If You Need to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

October 24, 2016

According to the EPA almost 90% of our lives are spent indoors, including the office and inside your own Tucker home. The majority of our exposure to pollutants happens indoors, with indoor air being two-to-five times more contaminated than outdoor air. That is why your home’s indoor air quality is vital for better health. So what are some indicators that you may need to boost your indoor air quality?

How You Feel

There are a number of physical symptoms of bad indoor air quality in Tucker, such as: fatigue, watery eyes, headaches, coughing, sneezing and a host of others. The symptoms can often be incorrectly identified as other ailments such as allergies or a cold. If your symptoms seem to disappear when you’re outside of the house, it could be an indoor air quality problem.

Odors and Damage

Poor indoor air quality doesn’t just affect your health; it could damage the things in your home. You could start noticing your walls or ceilings look tarnished, your wood furniture warping or your paint chipping. These are all indicators that you may have poor indoor air quality. There also may be a musty smell that doesn’t seem to go away.
