The causes of indoor air pollution vary from area to area, house to house and even room to room. Contaminated air seeps in from the outside air, but it also comes up from several other of indoor sources like construction materials, consumer products, mold, insects and pets. Poor ventilation can let it accumulate to dangerous levels which results in serious health risks, a problem that often spikes in fall and winter as we seal up buildings to conserve heat.
Air Isn't as Light as People Think
Air is pushing on your skin right now with up to 15 pounds of pressure per square inch, a weight so light you can't even feel it. Your lungs can feel it though, especially when it's bogged down with toxins. And while we tend to think of air pollution as an outdoor threat, it can be even worse inside the buildings where we live and work.
If you're concerned about the air quality levels inside your home or office, two places where many people do the bulk of their breathing, you might want to investigate it with an indoor air-quality test. Ensure your home and work are safe and reduce the risk of health problems from possible indoor toxins.
