Most people know that outdoor air pollution can negatively affect health, but they may not know that indoor air pollution can have harmful and severe health consequences. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, levels of air pollution indoors can be up to 100 times higher than outdoor levels. Indoor air quality, or IAQ, is vital to both short-term and long-term health as well as our everyday lives. So, what can you do about increasing the quality of air in your home or business?

Ensuring your property has high-quality indoor air ensures an adequate supply for fresh, clean air and minimizes the risk of indoor air pollution. Indoor pollutants and sources that release gases or particles, such as mold and lead, are two primary causes of indoor air quality problems. Poor ventilation can likewise increase pollutant levels. Poor ventilation prevents clean, outdoor air from coming indoors to reduce and dilute emissions from indoor sources and bring outside any polluted indoor air. High temperatures and high humidity levels (common in North Central Florida) can also increase pollutant concentrations. There is a wide range of sources of indoor air pollutants, including the following. Hiring professional indoor air quality experts, such as those with Maven Construction Group, helps ensure everyone within your property breathes clean air that’s free from harmful pollutants.
