We all want our homes to be safe and comfortable, but did you know that the air quality inside your house can have a big impact on your health? Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can lead to issues like allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems. Things like dust, pollen, mold, and pet dander can build up and make it hard to breathe easy. Let’s explore how clean air can make your home a healthier, happier place to be.
1. Reduced Allergies
Many air pollutants, including pet dander, dust mites, and mold spores are allergens. People who are sensitive to these may experience a runny nose, cough, sneezing, watery eyes, or itchy skin. By removing those from the air, they’ll likely feel better and need to take fewer antihistamines.
2. Improved Breathing
Improved respiratory health can occur when you reduce indoor air pollution. When you breathe in polluted air, your lungs can become inflamed. This can cause trouble breathing and can lead to significant respiratory diseases. Polluted air can cause serious problems for people who have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma. Once the air is clean and indoor air quality is improved, the lungs can function better.
3. Better Sleep
Coughing, sneezing, trouble breathing, and other issues can negatively impact your sleep habits. When the air is clean and your home is at a comfortable temperature, you will sleep better. While you’re sleeping, your body rests. Providing it with clean air enables the respiratory system to reoxygenate vital organs so that they can function optimally. This means that you may have more energy and better cognitive abilities.
