The Impact of Poor Indoor Air Quality
Most people spend much of their time inside. Between home and work, it may seem like you never get outside these days. Indoor air quality is essential to creating a healthy environment to spend all that time in. Poor indoor air quality does more than just cause a musty smell.
- Increases Dust and Debris: Poor air circulation and indoor air quality can cause excessive dust and dirt buildup in the home.
- Promotes Mold and Mildew Growth: Mold and mildew thrive in poorly ventilated spaces. Poor air circulation creates a vicious cycle of mold and mildew growth and circulating of their spores into your home’s air supply.
- Worsens Allergies: If you have pets or live in an area prone to pollen and other allergens, poor indoor air quality can lead to an exacerbation of your allergies. Itchy eyes and irritated sinuses are just another sign of poor indoor air quality.
- Irritates the Lungs: Poor indoor air quality is one of the greatest irritants for sufferers of asthma, COPD, and other lung-related illnesses. Excessive dirt and debris in the air can irritate these conditions and may worsen respiratory symptoms of colds as well.

How to Improve Indoor Air Quality
Improving your Oklahoma City home’s indoor air quality may seem like a daunting challenge. The good news is, there’s plenty of options to fit most budgets and needs.
- Circulate the Air: It may seem like common sense, but keeping the air circulating in your home prevents stagnation. Keeping the furnace fan on even in the summer will keep air circulating (without heating your home,) and using your home’s air conditioning system and fans will help as well.
- Replace Your AC Filters: Perhaps the simplest way to improve your home’s air quality in the summer is to replace the filters of your air conditioner. Your home’s AC circulates cool air through your home, providing relief from the heat, but a dirty AC filter will circulate dirty cold air. Invest in a good-quality filter to replace annually.
- Balance Humidity: Humidity plays a role in air quality. Muggy air is hard on the lungs and dry air can irritate the sinuses and respiratory tract as well. Investing in a humidifier for drier seasons and a dehumidifier for humid days will help keep your home’s indoor air quality purer and easier on the lungs.
- Invest in an Air Purifier or Air Sanitizer: One of the best tools used to improve indoor air quality, Air Purifiers, and UV Air Sanitizers are excellent investments for your home. Air Purifiers filter out irritants and debris from the air, reducing dust, mold spores, and allergens in the air.
