The EPA describes indoor air qualityas the state of the air inside and around buildings and structures that is relevant to residents’ health and well-being. The indoor air quality is affected by various factors such as heat, moisture, ventilation, and organic or chemical pollutants present in the building.

One of the more obvious side effects of indoor air pollution is an unpleasant smell, but a lot more pass unnoticed.

Why Is Indoor Air Quality Important?
Both indoor and outdoor air has a direct influence on human health. Although indoor air pollution may occasionally result in unpleasant smells, it is often entirely negligible. Black mould and mildew are frequent indicators of a musty odour. Moreover, poor air quality facilitates the circulation of spores, which degrades the air quality. Indoor air quality systems assist in preventing the circulation of these harmful substances, thereby purifying the air.
Mildew and black mould flourish in organic matter that is porous and humid, such as a bathroom. Although mildew and mould can both cause respiratory issues, mould is more likely to induce cold-like symptoms or more severe complications such as lung infections and shortness of breath, according to the CDC. Regular and appropriate maintenance and repairof an air conditionercan reduce the possibility of mould growth.
Indoor air pollution can also cause serious health issues, including:
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Sore eyes
- Burning nose
- Worsening allergies
- Respiratory issues
- Flu-like symptoms
- Heart disease
- Cancer
- Other serious, long-term conditions
