Unusual headaches, sudden dizziness, bouts of nausea, recurring coughs, and difficulty breathing are actually common symptoms of poor indoor air quality.

Many people expect poor indoor air quality to be reflected by obvious signs of dirt, debris, or mold, and even bothersome odors. However, many indoor air quality threats like bacteria, radon, and carbon monoxide, are invisible and odorless.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), your indoor air can be as much as 100 times more polluted than your outdoor air. You could be sitting in the midst of a swirl of harmful contaminants without realizing it. Some of these IAQ threats result from activities such as smoking and, depending on the age of your home, could come from lead-based paint and other material used during construction.

Common causes of indoor air quality challenges:

• Mold that can result from high humidity levels
• Lack of routine HVAC maintenance, which gives your technician the opportunity to check and clean your system thoroughly
• Household cleaners, which emit harmful fumes
• Failure to observe regular or thorough cleaning, particularly in areas such as the kitchen and bathroom
• Not dusting or vacuuming regularly – especially if there are pets in the home
• Dirty ductwork can cause unclean air to be distributed throughout your home
• Neglecting to clean or replace your air filter can affect heating and system efficiency and cause polluted air to reenter your home
