3 Things Impacting Your Home's Air Quality


If you didn't already know, your home's air supply could be more contaminated than even the dirtiest of cities. While indoor air pollution can come from a variety of places, these three sources seem to be the biggest culprits.

Household Cleaning Products

Cleaning products make your home cleaner, right? Not necessarily. The truth is, many commercial cleaners actually contain harmful chemicals that release into the air when used. Surprisingly enough, the worst kind of cleaning products are air fresheners. They don't “freshen” your air at all, they just mask it with dangerous toxins.

Air Ducts

Air ducts are an afterthought for most homeowners, but they are actually harboring all kinds of pollutants and allergens. It is not uncommon to find high levels of dust, pollen, mold, and pet dander in home air ducts. Once these particles make their way into your ducts, they can use them as a transportation system to spread through the rest of your home.

Crawl Space

If your home is built atop a crawl space, it could be greatly impacting the air quality of your home. In fact, up to 50% of your first floor's air supply comes from your crawl space. As we have discussed in the past, many crawl spaces suffer from humidity problems – which often leads to mold growth. This is bad news, as exposure to mold spores can cause asthma attacks, allergic reactions, and respiratory infections.
