EntSun News/11096012
Being aware of common indoor air quality issues can help you take steps to improve your living environment. Here are some important home air quality factors to consider:

MERRITT ISLAND, Fla. - EntSun -- Per Ned & Darlene Marcoux, owners of Sunsation Services. Your best choice for Brevard County, Florida, Mold and Air Quality Testing. When asked about indoor Air Quality issues we should all consider, Darlene relied:

1. Indoor Allergens
  • Dust mites, pet dander, and pollen can accumulate in carpets, bedding, and upholstery, triggering allergies and asthma.
  • Regular cleaning and use of HEPA filters can help reduce allergen levels.

2. Mold and Mildew
  • Moisture problems in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, or due to leaks can lead to mold growth.
  • Mold spores can cause respiratory irritation and allergic reactions.
  • Address moisture sources promptly and consider professional mold testing if you suspect a problem.

3. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
  • VOCs are gases emitted from paints, varnishes, cleaning products, and new furniture.
  • Long-term exposure can cause headaches, dizziness, and respiratory issues.
  • Use low-VOC products and ensure good ventilation when using chemicals.

4. Carbon Monoxide (CO)
  • Produced by faulty heating systems, gas stoves, or generators, CO is a colorless, odorless gas that can be deadly.
  • Install CO detectors near sleeping areas and regularly service fuel-burning appliances.

5. Radon Gas
  • Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that can seep into homes from the soil.
  • It is the second leading cause of lung cancer.
  • Test your home for radon and install mitigation systems if elevated levels are detected.

6. Particulate Matter
  • Fine particles from cooking, smoking, candles, and outdoor pollution can linger indoors.
  • Particulates can exacerbate lung diseases and heart problems.
  • Use exhaust fans and air purifiers to reduce particulate concentration.

7. Humidity Levels
  • Both high and low humidity can affect air quality.
  • High humidity encourages mold growth, while low humidity can cause dry skin and respiratory discomfort.
  • Maintain indoor humidity between 30-50% for optimal comfort.

For over 35 years, we have provided the Brevard County, Florida, area with the best indoor Air Quality and Mold Testing.
