Bad odors in your home are not only annoying to live with, but also represent a threat to your health. Bad odors often come from sources that lower the air quality in your home. Poor air quality can lead to serious health problems for you and your family members. In fact, the federal EPA states that low quality of indoor air is one of the top five risks to public health. This means that if you have an unpleasant odor in your home, you need to find the source and remove it as soon as possible.
Some of the most common sources of unpleasant smells are:
- Combustion sources (oils, gases, kerosene, coal, wood, tobacco products, etc.)
- Pollen, pet dander, mold and bacteria
- Poor ventilation
- High humidity
If bad odors are in your home, you should consider an indoor air quality test. Such a test conducted by an expert will provide you with the information necessary to eliminate the source that is creating the health-threatening odors. An expert will not only supply in-depth analysis of the air in your household, but will also help you get the air quality levels in your house under control and back to an adequate level.
