Fresh air—indoors and out—is at the core of a healthy life. Without it, people may (and do) experience several negative health effects, including allergies, worsened asthma and other respiratory conditions.
Test Your IAQ
However, when you periodically test your indoor air quality—especially after flooding or any known moisture intrusion—you can usually detect problem areas before long-term, negative effects set in.
Reduce Moisture
Investigate Odours
Reduce VOC Levels in Your Home
Exposure to high levels of VOCs leads to difficulty breathing, allergies, headaches and general discomfort. However, so many things inside our homes—furniture, perfumes, paints, etc.—contain VOCs and off-gas, polluting the air we breathe.
- Improve air circulation inside
- Purchase low-VOC, low-emission or VOC-free products (i.e. some paints and varnishes)
- Reduce second-hand smoke indoors
- Don’t keep too many cleaning or personal care products that contain and emit VOCs
Clean Regularly
