- Shortness of breath

Causes of Indoor Air Pollution
Now that we’ve covered how indoor air quality affects your health, what are the causes of poor indoor air quality? These are some of the common causes of poor indoor air quality:
Dust and Dander
Dust mites and dander can mess with your home’s indoor air quality. Dust mites live in carpets, bedding, upholstery, and stuffed animals, but the human eye can’t see them. Those deemed at risk (the elderly, young, and those with allergies, or asthma) are particularly susceptible to dust mites. Minor effects include coughing, wheezing, and discomfort while in severe cases, the need for medication or hospitalization.
Dander is the dead skin cells from an animal’s coat and also happens to be the most common source of pet allergies. Dander is great at sticking onto surfaces for months on end and making its way into small and thin places around the home. The health issues as a result of dander exposure can vary for those who have allergies. To best keep these pollutants at a minimum, frequent cleaning is recommended.
Volatile Organic Compounds
Volatile Organic Compounds, also known as VOCs, are toxic airborne chemicals emitted as gasses from certain types of solids or liquids. These come from common household products such as cleansers, air fresheners, aerosol sprays, paints, pesticides, and dry-cleaned clothing. VOCs have short and long-term health effects. Effects range from nose irritation to damage to the central nervous system.
Bacteria, Germs, Viruses
Other common pollutants that can decrease your home’s indoor air quality are bacteria, germs, and viruses. With poor indoor air quality, the chance of spreading contagious viruses becomes much higher.
Bacteria and germs thrive in enclosed spaces. While they thrive in these environments and spread quickly, most bacteria are harmless. Some strains of bacteria produce toxins known for killing cells and damaging the immune system.
How Does Arizona Climate Impacts Indoor Air Quality?
Arizona’s climate plays a role in affecting your home’s indoor air quality. Extreme humidity from monsoons, inhaling radon gas from chemicals, and the dust and pollen from dust storms can all lead to severe health issues and allergies. Especially with the crowd that is more at risk for these types of situations.

The Importance of Changing Your HVAC Filter
One of the most important factors when it comes to indoor air quality is replacing your HVAC filter. Over time, the HVAC filter will become dirty or clogged with debris. When this happens, your home’s air quality will decrease and your HVAC system will take a hit in its efficiency.
