At what cost is indoor pollution to you and your community? Generally people spend more than 90% of their time indoors, half of that in their homes. The air inside your home is 2 to 5 times more polluted than the air outdoors. Studies by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) consistently rank indoor pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health.

Nationally, polluted air costs more than twelve billion dollars a year in medical costs and lost productivity. Australians especially at risk include asthmatics, allergy sufferers, those with compromised immune and lung symptoms, and children.

For most of the population though, indoor air pollution does not affect them. Yet for some, unhealthy indoor environments may cause minor symptoms, reduce quality of life, increase medical costs, increase accident risks and reduce productivity whether at home, school or work.

Exposure to poor indoor air quality can cause headaches, fatigue, sinus congestion, can’t stop coughing, wheezing, sneezing, eye nose throat and skin irritation, excessive phlegm in throat, dizziness, nausea, as well as heightened what causes asthma and allergy symptoms, eczema. Other responses include any sort of reaction affecting any one of the body organs.

So what indoor pollution contributes to poor indoor air quality standards in your home or work place? Air borne pollutants are invisible and divided into either biological and / or chemical.

Biological pollutants originate from living or once living organisms. They include dustmite, pet dander (skin, hair, feather particulates), pollen, gases, mould and mildew spores, fungi, bacteria and viruses.

While chemical pollutants originate from gases and gas particles including gases or particles such as carbon monoxide and soot.

To thrive, biological organisms require nutrients, moisture and limited ventilation. Sources include mattresses, carpets, soft furnishings, inadequately maintained appliances such as air conditioners and dehumidifiers, poorly ventilated and dirty bathrooms, damp and flooded floors and basements.

Chemical pollutant sources include paint, felt tip markers, correction fluids, pesticides, scents, personal care products, household cleaners and fresheners, second hand tobacco smoke, volatile organic compounds (VOC) found in furniture, paint, adhesives, solvents, upholstery, drapes, carpet, clothing, construction material, office copy machines and faxes, oil and gas appliances.

Adverse health effects depend on the the type, the amount and the sensitivity of the individual to the pollutants. The most common response is an allergic reaction, particularly to house dust mites, pet hair and pollen. The individual’s response can vary from mildly uncomfortable to life threatening as in severe asthma. The air pollutant trigger, narrows the sensitive airways, making their breathing difficult.
