Signs You Have Poor Indoor Air Quality

Excessive Dust

Excessive dust in your house, especially on surfaces, is a telltale sign of poor indoor air quality. The dust that piles onto your surfaces and on your air vents is made up of debris, dander and contaminants that make it harder to breathe. These particles even get embedded into your carpets.

Humidity

The normal humidity level in a home is between 30-50%. If your humidity level is too low, your house is too dry, too high and your house is uncomfortably humid. The more moisture you have in your house, the more mold growth and odors fill your home’s air.

Health Problems

Pay attention to how you’re feeling. The following are common signs that may indicate that your indoor air quality could be the cause of your allergy symptoms:

  • Excessive tiredness

  • Coughing

  • Sneezing

If you suffer from allergies in general, see how they change from when you’re outside to when you enter your home. If there’s a difference, then it may be time to call a professional.
