Indoor Air Quality: Ensuring a Healthy Environment in New London, Waterford, and Norwich

As an environmental and disaster restoration company serving the communities of New London, Waterford, and Norwich, we understand the crucial role that indoor air quality plays in the health and well-being of Connecticut residents. Poor indoor air quality can lead to a range of health issues, from mild discomfort to serious respiratory problems. In this blog post, we’ll discuss what indoor air quality is, how it impacts your health, and how our company can help you maintain a healthy indoor environment.

What is Indoor Air Quality?

Indoor air quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within and around buildings and structures, especially as it relates to the health and comfort of building occupants. IAQ is determined by the presence of pollutants, the level of ventilation, and the temperature and humidity of the indoor environment.

Common Indoor Air Pollutants

Indoor air can be contaminated by a variety of pollutants, including:

• Dust and particulate matter
• Mold and mildew
• Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products, paints, and furniture
• Carbon monoxide and other combustion byproducts
• Radon gas
• Asbestos fibers
• Pesticides and other chemicals

The Health Impact of Poor Indoor Air Quality

Exposure to indoor air pollutants can have significant consequences for the health of New London, Waterford, and Norwich residents.

Respiratory Issues

Poor indoor air quality can exacerbate respiratory problems, such as asthma, allergies, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Exposure to pollutants can cause inflammation and irritation of the airways, leading to coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Cardiovascular Problems

Certain indoor air pollutants, such as particulate matter and carbon monoxide, can have negative impacts on cardiovascular health. Long-term exposure has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular issues.

Cognitive and Neurological Effects

Some indoor air pollutants, like VOCs and carbon monoxide, can cause cognitive and neurological symptoms, such as headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating. Prolonged exposure may even lead to more serious neurological problems.
