Indoor air quality, or IAQ, refers to the overall health and cleanliness of the air inside your home. Since most people spend a significant amount of time indoors, maintaining good air quality is essential for your comfort and well-being. Unfortunately, a range of indoor pollutants can compromise your home's air, often without being visible. These hidden contaminants can have a serious effect on your health over time. That’s why it’s important to understand the common causes of poor IAQ—so you can take the right steps to improve and protect the air you breathe.

Common Causes of Poor Indoor Air Quality

Indoor air quality issues can stem from a wide range of sources, and not all are equally harmful. Some pollutants may simply cause discomfort, while others can pose serious health risks if left unaddressed.
