IAQ 101
Allergies
Indoor air can be 2–5× more polluted than outdoor air, trapping dust, pollen, and pet dander that aggravate allergies. These airborne particles are among the most common causes of sneezing, eye irritation, and congestion.
Asthma
About 1 in 13 Americans live with asthma, a condition that can worsen when exposed to indoor pollutants or high humidity. Cleaner air and proper ventilation help reduce triggers that make breathing more difficult.
Mold
Mold thrives in damp or humid indoor environments and can develop in as little as 24 to 48 hours. Prolonged exposure may cause respiratory irritation and damage to household materials like wood, drywall, and fabrics.
Comfort
Unbalanced humidity affects how air feels and moves indoors, where 90% of Americans spend their time. Dry air can cause skin irritation and static, while excess humidity can make rooms feel heavy and congested.
Energy Savings
Poor air quality can force heating and cooling systems to work harder, which can result in additional energy costs and equipment replacement. Maintaining clean, balanced air helps reduce overall energy use, saves on costs, and keeps indoor environments more efficient.5
