What causes indoor air pollution?

Many daily things may contribute to inferior indoor air quality in your Dallas residence.

This includes:

• Chemicals in [carpeting, furniture and window treatments that give off fumes
• Cleaning supplies
• Paint
• Personal care products
• Air fresheners and candles

Though they are often more efficient, updated homes don’t breathe the way older residences do. Secure weather stripping and storm doors keep inside air in and outside air out. This provides more energy savings, but the limited exchange of outdoor and indoor air can trigger particles increasing inside.

In these circumstances, a whole-house ventilation system is suggested. Ventilation systems swap out polluted inside air for fresher exterior air without sacrificing energy savings.
