The 3 Kinds Of Indoor Air Pollutants
- Particulates
- Volatile Organic Compounds
- Biological Contaminants
1. Particulates
Particulates, or particles, to use a more colloquial term, can include any type of matter that is 100 microns (one-millionth of a meter) in diameter. Particulates likely to affect your indoor air quality include dust, pollen, and pet dander.
Particulate contaminants can easily accumulate in your air ducts, and when your heating and AC system spreads this particulate matter around, it can make it hard for those with allergies and asthma to breathe properly. That’s why to make life easier for those with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory problems, and to help everyone in your house breathe a little easier, installing an indoor air quality system is a good idea.
2. Volatile Organic Compounds
Volatile Organic Compounds, or VOCs, include smoke, vapors, and odors that are harmful to your health. You may come in contact with VOCs such as paint fumes, cleaning products, perfumes, and cooking smoke regularly without even thinking about it. But while these household chemicals and odors be extremely common, they are also extremely toxic, and prolonged exposure to them can lead to everything from coughing and sneezing to skin and eye irritation to headaches and nausea.
With a cutting-edge indoor air quality system, you will be able to neutralize some of the effects of VOCs, helping your family feel better now and reducing potential health problems down the road.
3. Biological Contaminants
Biological contaminants are defined as any microorganisms and bioaerosols that can make their way from the air into your lungs. Common biological contaminants include fungi, mold spores, bacteria, and various viruses and pathogens. In the world we live in, it is important to do everything we can to protect ourselves from biological contaminants, and installing a quality air filtration device can be a great way to do this.
Maybe you have elderly individuals, young children, or immunocompromised people living with you. Or maybe you’re just tired of getting sick all the time. No matter what your reason is, the right IAQ system can significantly cut down on the level of airborne biological contaminants in your home.
