Airborne particles and VOCs can trigger
asthma and allergy symptoms.

If someone in your family suffers from asthma, allergies or other respiratory problems, then airborne particles in your home such as dust mites, pollen, molds, pet dander and insect debris, can trigger allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and asthma attacks.

People with chemical sensitivity can also experience similar symptoms when they are exposed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) found in building materials, furniture, paints and solvents, household cleaners, and fragrances.

Airtight construction, designed to improve energy efficiency, permits less fresh air to enter the home. High efficiency heating and cooling systems constantly recirculate indoor air so particles and VOCs build up over time.

According to U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) studies, levels for many pollutants may be two to five times higher indoors than outdoors.

Children, the sick, and the elderly can be particularly sensitive to these indoor air pollutants. If someone in your family has allergies, asthma or other respiratory problems, you may want to test VOC and particle levels in your home. Click here to return to indoor air monotring.
