Air Quality
Ooltewah & Chattanooga Indoor Air Quality
Here in Chattanooga Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is crucial to our overall health. What many don’t realize is that inside air is filled with pollutants. Since the average person spends about 90% of their time indoors, it’s critical that the air we breathe be as clean as possible.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) deems indoor air pollution as one of the top environmental issues currently facing our country! The immediate effects of poor IAQ include eye, nose or throat irritation, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Over the long-term, breathing dirty air has been linked to certain respiratory diseases, heart diseases, certain cancers, and even death.
Studies have shown indoor air can be as much as 100 times more polluted than the air outside. Our more humid environment in the Chattanooga, Ooltewah, and Cleveland areas may promote the growth of certain airborne bacterial compounds. However, there are several contributing factors to poor IAQ such as:
- Airborne household dust
- Pollen infiltrating from outside
- Gases like carbon monoxide or radon
- Organic Growth, mildew, or other bacterial contagions
