Is Your Indoor Air Quality Making You Sick?

/in /by

Indoor Air Quality is more important than ever.

Winter is quickly approaching, and we’ve retreated into our indoor air spaces. Many of us are continuing to work from home due to keeping our circles small and our families safe. Even others have opted to home-school and keep the family all in one place.

Did you know that the Government of Canada estimates that 14,600 premature deaths per year in Canada can be linked to air pollution from fine particulate matter, nitrogen dioxide and ozone, as outlined in the technical report Health Impacts of Air Pollution in Canada – Estimates of Morbidity Outcomes and Premature Mortalities – 2019 Report.

We should take our indoor air quality seriously. Several problems can occur in an indoor living space. Studies have indicated that indoor air pollutants may be two to five times, and occasionally more than 100 times – higher than outdoor levels. (US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

The living space is very vulnerable to high humidity levels, mold, gas emissions, insufficient ventilation, and build-up of gases. An overlooked indoor environment can initiate mold and cause serious health issues.

Children, seniors, and people with medical conditions (like asthma, severe allergies, and COPD) are more vulnerable to mold, formaldehyde, and VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
