The most prevalent concern regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) is related to health impacts.
Poor indoor air quality can lead to a wide range of health problems, including:
1. Respiratory Issues: Indoor air pollutants such as dust, pollen, mold spores, and pet dander can exacerbate allergies and asthma symptoms, leading to difficulty breathing, coughing, wheezing, and other respiratory problems.
2. Irritation of Eyes, Nose, and Throat: Indoor air pollutants such as VOCs, particulate matter, airborne mold spores and tobacco smoke can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, leading to discomfort and inflammation.
3. Headaches and Fatigue: Exposure to indoor air pollutants, including elevated levels of carbon dioxide, presence of carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds, can cause headaches, fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating.
4. Aggravation of Existing Health Conditions: Poor IAQ can worsen symptoms of pre-existing health conditions such as cardiovascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and autoimmune disorders.
5. Long-term Health Risks: Chronic exposure to indoor air pollutants such as radon, asbestos, and certain VOCs has been linked to an increased risk of developing serious health conditions, including lung cancer, heart disease, and respiratory infections.
