What Causes Poor Air Quality

There are many factors that affect indoor air quality — but mold and VOCs (volatile organic compounds) are two of the biggest culprits.

​

VOCs are released from everyday household and office items, including:

​

• New carpeting, furniture, and cabinets

• Bedding, fabrics, and vinyl materials

• Paint, adhesives, and cleaning products

• Printers, scented candles, and air fresheners

• Detergents and other common chemicals​

​

Even the things you trust to make your space “clean” or “fresh” can actually be contaminating the air you breathe.

​

Our furry friends can also introduce allergens, dander dust and other organic compounds that can impact air quality
