Help Me Reduce Asthma Triggers In My Home
Most people don’t think about the air quality in their homes until a problem occurs. Even worse, homeowners only think about air quality or asthma triggers when someone develops symptoms. Only then do homeowners wonder if something in their home causes these issues. Asthma triggers include:
- eye irritation
- nose irritation
- throat irritation
- headaches
- dizziness
- fatigue
The truth is, we spend about 90% of our time indoors these days. As a result, these health risks may be greater due to indoor air pollution than outdoors.
Additionally, diagnosing indoor air problems remains challenging. There are many variables to consider. Some health effects may show up shortly after a single exposure to a pollutant. Conversely, other health effects may show up years after exposure has occurred. Or, some symptoms occur only after long or repeated periods of exposure. That is why it makes sense to try to improve the indoor air quality in your home even if symptoms are not noticeable. Pollutants such as mold, carbon monoxide, lead paint, asbestos, vermiculite or VOC’s can impact the indoor air quality of your home. Other, more subtle things that may be effecting indoor air quality in homes can be relative humidity levels, dust, dog or cat dander or the amount of fresh air entering your home.
