 Poor Indoor Air Quality
Some people are more sensitive to changes in 
indoor air quality than others, but rest assured, 
indoor air quality is real and it’s important. Poor 
indoor air quality can cause trouble breathing and 
can also impact the life of your HVAC system. What 
are the symptoms of poor indoor air quality, what 
causes indoor air quality to drop, and how can you 
fix it? Here's the guide!
Symptoms of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Increased Presence of Dust
If you notice a lot of dust collecting on your 
shelves, floors, walls, ceiling fans, and other 
items, your home’s indoor air quality is likely 
poor.
Sneezing & Allergy Attacks
Have your sinuses been congested despite 
usually not being too allergy-stricken during 
this time of year? If you notice this, especially 
inside, you might have an indoor air quality 
problem.
Noticeable Mold Or Mildew Smell
If you notice that more mildew and mold are 
growing, especially in high humidity areas of 
the house like the bathroom, then your indoor 
air quality is likely suffering as a result.
Causes of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
Most people haven’t heard about VOCs, but 
they’re everywhere and impossible to avoid. 
VOCs cause problems because they evaporate 
into the air at room temperature and can be 
hazardous to humans.
Mold & Mildew
Mold and mildew grow pretty much anywhere 
in the right conditions. If it’s humid and warm, 
they’ll grow. What’s worse is that mold and 
mildew can produce mycotoxins that are 
irritating to us.
Dust, Dander, Pollen, & Other 
Allergens
Dust, dander, pollen, and many other allergens 
can collect on the floors, walls, corners, ceiling 
fans, and even within the ducts. This problem 
is compounded if the air filter in the HVAC 
system isn’t changed regularly!
