Causes Of Poor Indoor Air Quality

Studies reveal that breathing difficulty, frequent illness now and then, and cancer are highly dependent on indoor air quality. 

Indoor air quality (IAQ) has a prominent role in ensuring our well-being and protecting us from the several respiratory diseases that may develop within us without notice.

Below are a few causes of the poor indoor air quality that we must consider.

The Growth of Mold Causes a Drop in the Quality of the Air

  • Fungal growth of mold takes a severe toll on the indoor air quality of your spaces.
  • If you encounter a musty smell in your house, it is due to the growth of molds. Moisture multiplies the mold and increases the danger of reducing Indoor air quality by dispersing it into the air particles.
  1. Removal of Indoor air pollutants and allergens.
  2. Control over air quality
  3. Control over the growth of mold in damp and cold weather conditions.

Steps for Testing the Growth of Mold in your Air Filters and Ducts -

To try the growth of mold in Air filters and vents of your HVAC systems, follow the below steps -

Proper indoor air quality tests can help you determine the growth of mold

  • Sink your sponge into a cleaning solution and wipe the parts of the air filter or air. Place the sponge in a washable container and pour another solution over it.
  • Dry the sponge and pour the solution into a measuring cup. Match the color of the solution with the chart provided in your test kit. This tells you if mold is growing on your air filter or ductwork.

Radon, Asbestos, and Formaldehyde Damage Indoor Air Quality

  • Radon is a colorless radioactive gas from the soil. This soil is used for building purposes and then into indoor air.
  • Undoubtedly as a colorless gas, radon is injurious to health after smoking and is the second reason for cancer and high deaths.
  • Similarly, formaldehyde and Asbestos equally contribute to creating vulnerability in your life.
  • You can schedule your IAQ service on our website or dial (833)271-334. We are available 24*7 for emergency services.

Procedure for Testing the Presence of Radon in your Home

  • A home air quality test kit is sufficient to test the presence of radon quickly. The experimental unit contains film strips that record the effects of alpha particles and polonium, which are products of the decay of radon.
  1. Add granular charcoal to a test container of the kit. The charcoal absorbs radon from the air.
  2. Seal the bag containing the charcoal. You can send this bag for results to the laboratory for results. Laboratory test results give you a better understanding of your radon exposure.
