Indoor air quality solutions are more important now than ever! We work hard to wash our hands often, keep our homes clean and so much more to protect ourselves from germs and other potentially harmful contaminants. But did you know that the air in your home is easily polluted? Think about it: pollution outside is easily dispersed throughout wide open spaces, but pollutants inside your home can get stuck there and circulate through your home’s air. Luckily, there is a myriad of ways to test and improve your home’s indoor air quality.
Call on Southern Air Cooling, Heating, Plumbing & Electrical to schedule your indoor air quality test and breathe easier in your home.
What is Indoor Air Quality?
Indoor air quality, or IAQ, refers to the air quality in and around buildings such as homes. Just as outdoor air quality can cause increased allergy symptoms and even cause those with respiratory vulnerabilities to stay inside, poor IAQ can have negative effects on the health and well-being of your home. Short-term effects of exposure to poor IAQ include allergy symptoms, asthma symptoms and allergic reactions. In contrast, long-term exposure has been linked to the development of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other serious health conditions.
