Indoor Air Quality Eugene

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) refers to the air quality within buildings and structures. IAQ is known to affect the health, comfort, and well-being of building occupants. Breathing quality indoor air is critical for good health, and most people spend a significant amount of time indoors—either in the home, office, or other types of buildings.

AIR QUALITY FACTS:

Health effects from indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after exposure or, possibly, years later. Some health effects may show up shortly after a single exposure or repeated exposures to a pollutant. These include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue.

Such immediate effects are usually short-term, and sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person’s exposure to the source of the pollution. Soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants, symptoms such as asthma may show up, be aggravated, or worsened.
