If you work in an office building, a retail center, or another type of commercial building, then you understand what it is like to breathe the same air throughout the day for the majority of your waking hours. Indoor air quality is a vital part of maintaining a thriving work environment, but poor indoor air quality is easy to come by. What are the signs of poor indoor air quality? Is there anyone out there who can restore good air quality?
When It’s Obvious
You know you have indoor air quality issues if an emergency happens, like a hazardous chemical spill, a sewage backup, carbon monoxide poisoning, or another catastrophe. If a large mess happens in your building, you will want professional building cleaners to come and remove the contaminants for you.
Signs of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Emergencies are obvious signs that you will need to enlist help for poor indoor air quality. Other signs are not necessarily as obvious. Unfortunately, they are in the area of people’s health. Poor indoor air quality will result in sickness. While a cough or runny nose could result from unhealthy indoor air, worse symptoms include headache, nausea, vertigo, and widespread breathing difficulties. Look out for sick building syndrome, in which individuals feel ill only when present at a specific location.
Causes of Poor Indoor Air Quality
- Lack of ventilation: Lack of good interior ventilation can make rooms stuffy, dirty, and lacking oxygen.
- Lack of cleaning: Neglect to clean floors, windows, and other surfaces diligently will build up the amount of dirt particles and germs in the air.
- Fuel-burning appliances: Cooking appliances, HVAC systems, etc., need to have a proper way to funnel exhaust out of the building.
- External factors: Construction outside could cause dust particles to infiltrate the building.
- Mold or mildew problem: The presence of mold growth due to moisture problems can lead to serious illness.
