Indoor Air Pollutants and Sources
It’s important to understand and control indoor air pollutants and the ways they can affect your overall health. It can also be difficult to understand just how necessary it is to breathe clean air until it’s too late.
Sick Building Syndrome refers to situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified.
According to the EPA, health effects may show up shortly after a single exposure or repeated exposures to a pollutant. Symptoms of poor indoor air quality include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Asthma and similar diseases may also flair soon after exposure to some air pollutants. Other health effects like respiratory diseases, heart disease and cancer may show up either years after exposure has occurred, or only after long or repeated periods of exposure, and can be severely debilitating or fatal.
Sources of indoor air pollution include:
-
Fuel-burning combustion appliances
-
Tobacco products
-
Building materials and furnishings as diverse as:
-
Deteriorated asbestos-containing insulation
-
Newly installed flooring, upholstery or carpet
-
Cabinetry or furniture made of certain pressed wood products
-
-
Products for household cleaning and maintenance, personal care, or hobbies
-
Central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices
-
Excess moisture
