Enviro-Test Recommends Air Quality Testing For Spring
Amityville, NY (PRWEB) April 30, 2014 -- Indoor air has remained stagnant all winter long, and now it’s time to clean it out and get some fresh air inside the home. Enviro-Test is recommending that homeowners test the indoor air quality in their homes to ensure that the air is clean for the spring and summer.
During the fall and winter, poor ventilation can cause indoor air pollution to accumulate to dangerous levels. Contaminated air can occur due to a variety of causes, including mold, insects, pets, consumer products and construction materials.
Gases and particles from combustion are one of the leading sources of indoor air pollution. Combustion can release carbon monoxide, which can cause an array of harmful symptoms. Like carbon monoxide, asbestos exposure can also have harmful effects. If a home is suspected to contain asbestos, it’s important to have a professional remove it.
Other pollutants like volatile organic compounds can be found in a variety of consumer products, including paint, glue, printers, shower curtains and more. These compounds can give off vapors that can cause health issues.
Mold and mildew are also common pollutants indoors. Mold is caused mainly by moisture, so if there is a lot of moisture or a high humidity level in the home, mold and mildew may develop. Most molds cause health problems, so it’s important to get any visible mold inspected.
