KD Environmental Consulting Services provides the most reliable indoor air quality testing services for identifying the common pollutants/contaminants in Poughkeepsie, NY.
The first step to keeping your home and family safe from indoor air pollution is learning more about the pollutants/contaminants. Here are the 7 common indoor air pollutants and the risks they impose on the inhabitants:
Mold can trigger an allergic reaction in some people. Symptoms can include nasal stuffiness, eye or throat irritation, swelling, coughing or wheezing, headaches, or skin irritation. Severe reactions can lead to fever and trouble breathing. Mold can also trigger asthma attacks.
Being exposed to elevated levels of radon increases your risk of getting lung cancer.
Your body cannot use the oxygen necessary to function correctly when exposed to carbon monoxide. You could feel drained, groggy, queasy, confused, and suffer from headaches. You could die if the carbon monoxide content is high indeed.
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) irritates the throat, eyes, nose, and respiratory tract.
Short-term inhalation of secondhand smoke can irritate the throat, nose, and eyes. It has the potential to result in many of the same serious medical conditions as smoking, including lung cancer, pneumonia, bronchitis, and wheezing. Exposure to secondhand smoke may cause asthma episodes.
Lead exposure can harm your kidneys, nervous system, brain, red blood cells, and circulatory system. Children who undergo exposure may experience slower growth, behavioral issues, reduced IQ scores, and short attention spans.
