Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. The IAQ in your home or at your workplace can be affected by a number of factors, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states. These factors include caulks, sealants and coatings; paints and varnishes; wall coverings; cleaning agents; carpeting and vinyl flooring; furniture fabrics; and air fresheners and other scented products such as perfumes. Understanding and controlling common pollutants indoors can help reduce your risk of indoor health concerns.
HEALTH EFFECTS
Health effects from indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after exposure or, possibly, years later. Potential health issues include headaches; dizziness and fatigue; and irritation of the eyes, nose and throat.
