What causes poor air quality in a home?
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the most common household pollutants. These harmful chemicals are emitted by:
- Paint and paint strippers
- Refrigerants
- Some household cleaners
- Off-gassing from upholstery and carpeting
- Pesticides
- Household fragrances (such as scented candles or air fresheners)
- Building materials
- Smoking
- Sealant, glue, and other adhesives
- Gas stoves and appliances
- And more
Why are VOCs harmful?
The harsh chemicals associated with VOCs often come with adverse effects like headaches, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat. Some people are allergic to VOCs and may experience standard allergic reactions on their skin, like itching, a rash, or hives. They can cause difficulty breathing, especially if you already have a respiratory condition.
According to the American Lung Association, VOC exposure can even damage your central nervous system and organs or cause cancer, depending on the type of VOC.
