Paradise Valley’s Local Indoor Air Quality Team
If you’re like most homeowners, indoor air quality might not be something you’ve ever given much thought to. Studies performed by the EPA have shown that the concentration of many airborne pollutants is two to five times greater inside buildings than outside. Natural and biological contaminants like pollen, mold, dust mites, and cockroach allergens are present in almost every home and can cause issues for anyone with asthma or other respiratory issues.
Fireplaces, cooking appliances, and other combustion sources can also release carbon monoxide, particulates, and other harmful combustion chemicals into the home. Even more worrying is the high concentration of formaldehyde and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in most homes. These chemicals are given off by many building materials, furniture, and other items in the home and they can obviously have numerous long-term health consequences.
Some of the common sources of VOCs found in most homes include:
- Adhesives, paint, varnish and caulking
- Vinyl and composite flooring and carpets
- Furniture upholstery and foam
- Aerosols, cosmetics and cleaning products
However, you can tackle VOCs or any other indoor air quality issues is to have an air quality assessment performed. Based on this assessment, there may be a number of potential options to clean and improve your home’s air. On one hand, Humidity control is an option that can help overcome issues with mold and pest problems. Conversely, whole-home air filtration systems, air purifiers, air scrubbers, and other IAQ equipment can also be an effective option for reducing the concentration of most airborne allergens, pollutants, and contaminants.
