Many everyday things may cause bad indoor air quality in your Voorhees residence.
This includes:
- Chemicals in [flooring, furniture and drapery that give off fumes
- Cleaning products
- Paint
- Personal care products
- Air fresheners and candles
Though they are typically more efficient, updated homes don’t ventilate the way older residences do. Secure weather stripping and storm doors keep interior air in and outdoor air out. This provides better energy savings, but the decreased exchange of outdoor and indoor air can cause pollutants building up inside your home.
When this happens, a whole-house ventilation system is advised. Ventilation systems exchange dirty inside air for more breathable outdoor air without giving up energy savings.
