    Answer:
The quality of the air in your home can impact your health or the health of those you live with. Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can significantly affect people's health, but Environmental Protection Agency studies have shown that levels of air pollutants indoors may be anywhere from 2 to 5 times greater than outdoors, and in some cases more than 100 times greater.

Indoor air pollution can be a real concern because people can spend as much as 90% of their time indoors, and much of that time is in their homes. You can have an immediate or long-term reaction to poor indoor air quality.

One way to determine whether you have an indoor air quality problem is to look at how you or those in your household feel when home.

  1. Do you or others sneeze and cough in your home?
  2. Do you or others in your home wake up congested or with a headache?
  3. Do you or others in your home often have an irritated throat, nose or eyes?
  4. If you or others in your home have any of the above symptoms, are they more common in a certain part of the house?
  5. Does anyone in your home have frequent asthma episodes or respiratory infections?
  6. Do you notice that you feel better when you are away from home?

If you have answered "yes" to any of these questions you may have an indoor air quality concern.
