7 Sneaky Things Affecting Your Indoor Air Quality

Think your home is full of fresh, clean air? Think again. Hidden culprits are lurking in unexpected places and might be

silently compromising your indoor air quality. Here are seven sneaky things affecting your indoor air quality that you

might not know about.

While candles and air fresheners make your home smell wonderful, they can release harmful chemicals into the air.

Synthetic fragrances often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can lead to respiratory issues.

Many conventional cleaning products contain harsh chemicals that contribute to indoor air pollution. Ingredients like

ammonia (bleach) can irritate the respiratory system and exacerbate conditions like asthma. Strong smells are often a

sign of irritating compounds.

New furniture and carpets often off-gas formaldehyde and other chemicals used in their production. These emissions can

linger in your home for months, affecting air quality and potentially causing headaches or allergies.

Gas stoves and ovens can release nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, and other pollutants. Proper ventilation is essential

to minimize the impact of these emissions on your indoor air quality.

Even if you regularly clean, pet dander and hair can accumulate and become airborne. This can lead to allergy symptoms

and other respiratory issues. Regular grooming and using air purifiers can help manage this.

While plants can improve air quality by producing oxygen, overwatering them can lead to mould growth. Mould spores

can become airborne and reduce indoor air quality, causing various health problems.

Dust mites thrive in warm, humid environments and can be found in bedding, upholstery, and carpets. They are a

common allergen and can significantly affect indoor air quality.
