Indoor Air Quality is extremely important to our health and is often taken for granted even with increased public awareness around the issue. We spend 90% of our time indoors, and so we should take every precaution to ensure our families and workers are breathing rich and healthy air, that is free of contaminants and pollutants. Most people believe that our air quality only concerns our outdoor air, but that is wrong! There are many types of contaminants that can reduce your air quality and can make you sick or cause other damages inside your home or office building.

As we said before 90% of your day is typically spent indoors. Whether it's your work, home, restaurant or gym, your air quality matters. Make sure your family, guests, or workers are not susceptible to dangerous indoor air pollutants. A larger variety of contaminants can be found indoors rather than outdoors, and also form higher concentrations when indoors. When higher concentrations of contaminants arise, more people are in danger of getting sick. To avoid having to deal with any illnesses or damages get your air tested today, by the experts at Motorious Solutions.
Indoor air pollutants cause a variety of effects when exposed for certain periods of time. Short-term effects range from minor to severe irritation of the eyes and throat, and long-term effects ranging from respiratory diseases to even cancer! Some gasses like carbon monoxide can cause immediate death or brain injury through high exposures. When multiple contaminants mix together in high concentrations, they can become exponentially worse for you and your family or workers. Because of the numerous respiratory diseases and cancers linked to indoor air quality, scientists have ranked IAQ one of the biggest environmental problems in Canada. Get your air tested today before it's too late!
More Information on Indoor Air Quality
- Tight buildings, built for energy efficiency, can concentrate indoor pollutants (it’s like putting a plastic bag over your head)
- Cleaning chemicals, chemicals that off-gas from furnishings, pesticides and particulates can circulate in your environment
- Water leaks and condensation can cause mold growth (mold loves the materials with which we build our houses)
- Microbial growth can occur in your humidifier, furnace and air conditioner, releasing airborne spores
Environments with Low Indoor Air Quality:
- Carbon dioxide (CO2), tobacco smoke, perfume, body odours – from building occupants
- Dust, fibreglass, asbestos, gases, including formaldehyde – from building materials
- Toxic vapours, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) – from workplace cleansers, solvents, pesticides, disinfectants, glues
- Gases, vapours, odours – off-gas emissions from furniture, carpets, and paints
- Dust mites – from carpets, fabric, foam chair cushions
- Microbial contaminants, fungi, moulds, bacteria, – from damp areas, stagnant water and
condensate pans - Ozone – from photocopiers, electric motors, electrostatic air cleaners
