Indoor Air Quality

"Indoor air quality" refers to things in indoor air that can cause or exacerbate illness (especially respiratory diseases). These components include:

· Mold, pet dander, and other allergens.

· Combustion products, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and soot

· Radon

· Fragrances and household chemicals.

· Environmental tobacco smoke.

We are especially concerned when someone in the home has a chronic respiratory problem like asthma, restrictive airway disease, or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
