Indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, containing a variety of invisible particles and gases that impact your health and comfort. In homes across the Brookfield, Waukesha, and Milwaukee areas, the most common indoor air pollutants include:
- Biological Contaminants: These include dust mites, which thrive in upholstery and carpets; mold spores, which flourish in damp areas like basements; and pet dander.
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs): These are chemicals released by household products such as paints, cleaning agents, air fresheners, and even furnishings. High concentrations can lead to headaches and dizziness.
- Combustion Byproducts: Carbon monoxide (CO) is a dangerous, odorless gas produced by unvented gas stoves, furnaces, and water heaters. Additionally, radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes through foundation cracks.
- Particulate Matter: Fine dust and pollen can accumulate in poorly maintained ductwork and recirculate throughout your living space.
