Do you believe indoor air is cleaner than outdoor air? In fact, products such as paints and varnishes, carpeting, furniture upholstery and even air fresheners pollute indoor air, posing a serious health risk. Our NYC mold removal experts explain the dangers of poor indoor air quality and how to prevent them.

Effects of Indoor Air Pollutants

Exposure to mold, chemicals and other indoor air pollutants can cause unpleasant symptoms such as weakness and fatigue, headaches, and allergic reactions including sneezing, coughing and irritated eyes. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), symptoms can develop immediately or years after exposure.

Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality

Fortunately, proactive steps can be taken to reduce the impact of pollutants on indoor air quality. Follow these suggestions from the EPA to prevent mold growth and other unhealthy elements.

• Keep air vents unblocked for good circulation.

• Clean liquid spills promptly and repair any water leaks immediately.

• Store food properly and dispose of garbage in the correct receptacles.

• Don’t smoke. If you must, do so at least 20 feet away from the building.

• Perform regular maintenance on the HVAC system.

• Use eco-friendly, chemical-free products for cleaning, pest control and other purposes whenever possible.

• Contact professional NYC mold removal services to safely eliminate mold infestations.
