Signs Of Low Air Quality

If you experience any of these negative health symptoms or notice any of these signs in your interior spaces, your home or business may have poor air quality.

Common Sources Of Home Air Pollution

Standard household cleaners, pet dander, pesticides, dust, and building materials—all common sources of indoor air pollution. While these components may not raise alarms for the average homeowner, all of these items can contribute to poor indoor air quality and pose a threat to our physical health.

Dust, for example, is composed of a mixture of dead skin cells, dust mite droppings, and dust mite remains. These dust mite fragments and excrement are considered to be one of the most significant indoor triggers for those with asthma or allergies. All it takes is a small amount of dust accumulation to cause itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, and difficulty breathing.

We recommend adding dusting to your daily cleaning routine. A duster or damp cloth can capture dust particles on baseboards, shelves, window blinds, or light fixtures. It is also a good idea to keep your rooms well ventilated when in use.

At Cook’s Air Conditioning & Heating Specialists, our HVAC technicians aim to combat dust, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and other airborne contaminants. Our professional air quality testing services are designed to help homeowners identify the source of their indoor air pollution. With this data, our team can design and implement a custom air purification and filtration system that effectively tackles these pollutants.

Home Air Quality Testing

Our indoor air quality specialists are trained to perform a professional IAQ audit of your household. We will assess your home’s humidity levels, determine the pollutant count, and compare the current air quality of your household against the IAQ standard.

Depending on the results of your assessment, our specialists can create personalized air filtration systems, perform thorough duct cleaning services, or install a whole-house ventilation or purification system.

Sources Of Air Pollution

Indoor air pollutants pose a significantly greater risk to human health than outdoor pollutants due to exposure concerns and high concentrations. Based on studies performed by the Environmental Protection Agency, air pollutants are up to two to five times higher in indoor air compared to outdoor air. Because people tend to spend 90% of their time indoors, they are constantly exposed to these harmful contaminants. It is imperative for homeowners to understand the consequences associated with indoor air pollutants, and to minimize them as much as possible. Otherwise, they may put themselves and their families at risk of developing asthma, bronchitis, pneumonia, lung cancer, or other respiratory illnesses.

Common sources of indoor air pollutants include asbestos, radon, biological contaminants, tobacco smoke, wood or gas stoves, household cleaning products, and building materials. Homeowners can easily reduce their amount of indoor air pollutants by using natural cleaners, sweeping frequently, replacing gas and wood stoves, or abstaining from smoking.

An air quality monitoring system can help you identify if pollutants are plaguing your home. These monitors rely on sensors to detect carbon dioxide levels and airborne particulate matter. By catching potentially harmful contaminants early on, low-cost air pollutant monitors allow homeowners to quickly take action and preserve their health.

A list of air pollution sources:

Ways To Reduce Air Pollution In The Home

Fortunately for concerned homeowners, sources of air pollution are often preventable. For instance, when cleaning or performing construction projects, always increase ventilation throughout the home. Open any windows and doors, or turn on any fans to improve airflow. You can also invest in a new ventilation system for your household. Energy recovery ventilation (ERV) systems are built for humidity control, and can easily remove stagnant air and excess heat.

Another way to reduce air pollution is to minimize moisture. Repair leaks in the home as soon as they are identified in order to prevent the growth of mold or mildew. If you suspect mold growth in your household, you can contact Cook’s Air Conditioning & Heating Specialists’ air quality assessors to schedule comprehensive home air quality testing services.

For additional peace of mind, we are also proud to offer Lennox Healthy Climate Solutions. With this powerful system, Ocala residents can effectively target and eliminate environmental allergens and contaminants.
