You might think that remaining indoors protects you against air pollution. According to EPA studies, indoor levels of pollutants can be two to five times (or even more than 100 times) higher than outdoor levels. The hot and humid climate in Tampa not only necessitates a tightly sealed home to optimize comfort and efficiency but creates issues with excess humidity and contaminants trapped within the living environment.

Some indications of poor indoor air quality:

• Aggravated symptoms of allergies

  – A high concentration of mold spores, dust, pollen and other irritants exacerbate allergic reactions. Sneezing, coughing, congestion, itchy eyes and headaches are often triggered by poor air quality.

• Problematic asthma symptoms

  – Breathing problems, chest tightening, coughing and wheezing are frequently the result of exposure to polluted air. Harmful toxins irritate the lungs, increasing the risk of an asthma attack.

• Lingering cold and flu

  – When symptoms of cold and flu won’t go away, you can probably blame the indoor air. If coughing, sneezing and congestion continue for more than a week or two, there could very well be a concentration of bacteria, mites, pollen, dust and viruses inside the home. High humidity encourages these problems.

• Stuffy air and unpleasant smells

  – Do cooking odors linger? Does the air feel clammy? A lack of sufficient ventilation can create an unhealthy environment.

• Constant cleaning requirements

  – An excessive amount of dust and other particles floating in the air and building up on surfaces is a problem that requires more than regular dusting and vacuuming.

• Hot and cold spots

  – Inconsistent air circulation creates temperature fluctuations and indicates improper filtration. The cause might be the heating/cooling unit or ductwork and promotes indoor air quality concerns.

• Difficult sleeping

  – A healthy environment provides better sleep. A high exposure of air pollution is the cause of 80% of sleep problems.

• Too much humidity

  – If you notice condensate running down the windows, sticky-feeling air or problems with mold or mildew growth, there’s too much moisture in the air. The damp environment encourages the growth of fungus, bacteria, dust mites and more.
