How to Tell If You Need to Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

October 24, 2016

According to the EPA about 90% of our lives are spent indoors, including the office and in your own Lodi home. A lot of our exposure to impurities occurs indoors, with indoor air being two-to-five times more dirty than outdoor air. That is why your home’s indoor air quality is essential for great health. So what are some indicators that you may need to better your indoor air quality?

How You Feel

There are a number of physical symptoms of poor indoor air quality in Lodi, like: fatigue, watery eyes, headaches, coughing, sneezing and a number of others. The symptoms can often be misidentified as other illnesses such as allergies or a cold. If your symptoms seem to go away when you’re outside of the house, it may be an indoor air quality problem.

Odors and Damage

Bad indoor air quality doesn’t just affect your health; it may damage the items in your home. You might start noticing your walls or ceilings look different, your wood furniture warping or your paint chipping. These are all signs that you could have bad indoor air quality. There also might be a musty smell that never goes away.
