Symptoms of Bad Air Quality

Symptoms of poor IAQ are as seeming simple as an odd smell in the air, to more extreme, where bad air may make people sick.

It can be very difficult to pin point the cause of the air quality degradation due to the wide variety of causes and the different immunity and sensitivity levels of people.

Some of the common reasons for air problems are carbon monoxide, mold, and fabrics.

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) did a study and found that in 500 cases, the top reasons for IAQ problems were: Inadequate ventilation, an indoor contamination, and outdoor contamination, microbial contamination, and contamination from building fabric.
