Knowing the behaviour of the occupants and the building characteristics, estimates are made on the air flows through the dwellings and these air flows are related to stated indoor air and climate problems. The results from the field studies provide recommendations for architects and developers of ...
Indoor Air Pollution Symptoms and Health Problems Pollutants can cause a wide range of short-term and long-term health problems. In the short term, exposure to high concentrations of indoor air pollution can cause eye irritation, headaches, nose and throat irritation, fatigue, and dizziness. Somet...

Although official efforts to control air pollution have traditionally focused on outdoor air, it is now apparent that elevated contaminant concentrations are common inside some private and public buildings. Concerns about potential public health problems due to indoor air pollution are based on evidence...
Help you wade through the many different facets of indoor air pollution. To provide advice on products and services that will clean your home of health problems related to indoor air pollution. Carbon Monoxide Carbon monoxide is one of the most acutely toxic of all indoor air pollutants. It's...
Causes of Indoor Air Pollution There are a variety of causes of poor indoor air quality. A NISOH study based on over five hundred complaints found that inadequate ventilation and the release of contaminants from indoor and outdoor sources are the primary reasons for indoor air quality problems (...
Inadequate ventilation can also lead to a build-up of carbon dioxide, which can cause health problems, including headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Use HEPA filters High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters can reduce indoor pollution, effectively removing pollutants like mold spores, pet dander...
Once these chemicals are in our homes, they are released or “off-gas” into the indoor air. The U.S. EPA reports that breathing in low levels of VOCs for long periods of time may increase some people’s risk of health problems. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) is one of a group of highly ...
Even without major health problems, SVOCs are harmful to your health and will put stress on your immune system. The good news is that just regular HEPA vacuuming significantly reduces exposure to SVOCs and improves your home’s air quality. In addition, the removal of as many sources of SVO...
