Most people do not consider air cleaning in their homes or businesses as a priority housework. This is due to the fact that they are not aware that the air inside their homes or businesses is often more polluted than the air outside. Combustion devices, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from household items, smoke, mold, radon, etc. are among the most common air pollutants. They contaminate your interior and lead to poor air quality in your home or business. This contamination often results in serious health issues like asthma, bronchitis, allergies, etc. Since contaminated indoor air becomes a problem of growing concern our team has started offering a professional air sampling and cleaning service.

Causes

Indoor air pollutants are versatile. They include:

  • Mold and mildew. Molds and their spores are ever-present in the air both outdoors and indoors. They flourish in dark and moist spaces and often lead to health issues like nose, skin and eyes irritations or asthma attacks
  • Asbestos, lead, and other materials used in building. These materials are health hazardous and cause discomfort, illnesses and even death.
  • Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from household items. These air pollutants are usually found in household products like paints, cleaning products, air fresheners, etc
  • Combustion devices. Gas-fired or oil-burning furnaces, gas or wood-burning stoves, and many other heating systems often produce particles that contaminate the indoor air and affect its quality. If the seals of chimneys or exhaust vents are not fixed properly, these combustion by products can enter the indoor spaces and cause health issues like headache, dizziness, eye, nose, throat irritations, and even death.
  • Tobacco smoke. This is one of the most common factors for poor indoor air quality. Foul odor that penetrates clothing, wall and floor coverings is the least problem caused by tobacco smoke. The main problem is the secondhand smoke that is a contributor to asthma, lung cancer and other respiratory illnesses. Secondhand smoke is especially harmful for children.
  • Radon. It is a naturally occurring source of indoor air contamination. Radon is a byproduct of the degradation of uranium and often presents in the the soil below a building’s foundation. When you think of air quality in your homes or offices, you should remember that exposure to radon is the second leading factor for lung cancer.
