Many factors affect indoor air quality. These factors include poor ventilation (lack of outside air), problems controlling temperature, high or low humidity, recent remodeling, and other activities in or near a building that can affect the fresh air coming into your home. Sometimes, specific contaminants like dust from construction or renovation, cleaning supplies, pesticides, or other airborne chemicals may cause poor indoor air quality. Unusual HVAC odors can also be a sign that something in your heating or cooling system is affecting your indoor air quality.
The right ventilation and home care can prevent and fix indoor air quality problems!
