How Does Air Quality Affect Your Health?

Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can contribute to significant health issues like headaches, dizziness, and fatigue while worsening conditions like asthma and allergies. Long-term exposure to mold, dust, and chemical fumes can also lead to serious respiratory issues, heart disease, and even cancer. 

Ensuring good indoor air quality in your home and workspaces is crucial to living a comfortable and healthy life. Today, the experts at All Comfort Services explain how indoor air quality can affect your health.

The Impact of Cold Air on Your Cough

The colder the air gets, the dryer it becomes. Cold, dry air can be particularly harsh on your respiratory system, and the lack of moisture can lead to dehydration of the mucous membranes in your respiratory tract.

This means the lining of your nose and throat becomes dry and scratchy, leading to frustrating coughs and general discomfort. 

Cranking up the heat inside doesn’t help either since it only pulls more moisture from the air. Being in these dry environments can leave you more susceptible to catching colds as your body tries to filter out germs. 

Other Health Issues Caused by Poor Air Quality

In addition to everyday coughs and colds, poor air quality can induce many other health troubles, such as:

• Respiratory problems: Whether an existing asthma condition flares up or new breathing issues arise, poor air quality can make it tough to catch your breath and leave you feeling depleted. 
• Cardiovascular issues: The air you breathe can impact more than just your lungs. Poor air quality can strain your heart and blood vessels, leading to serious heart conditions. 
• Allergic reactions: If you’re in an environment full of particles, your body is likely to trigger a response that tries to remove the allergen. This can lead to sneezing, itchy eyes, and even severe allergic responses.
