Particulate matter (PM2.5 & PM10) – tiny particles from dust, smoke, and outdoor pollution that penetrate deep into the lungs.

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – chemicals off-gassed from paint, furniture, cleaners, air fresheners, and building materials.

Mold and mildew spores – thrive in moisture-prone areas like basements, bathrooms, and around HVAC systems.

Pet dander and dust mites – microscopic allergens that trigger respiratory issues and skin reactions.

Carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide – released by stoves, fireplaces, and fuel-burning appliances.

Fatigue, brain fog, and poor sleep – airborne toxins stress the body and disrupt circadian rhythms.

Allergies and asthma – dust, dander, mold, and VOCs are all known triggers for respiratory flare-ups.

Immune dysregulation – chronic low-level exposure can suppress the immune system and increase vulnerability to illness.

Hormonal disruption – some air pollutants mimic estrogen or interfere with endocrine signaling.

Behavior and development concerns - especially in children, poor air quality has been linked to ADHD, learning delays, and mood disorders.

Modern homes are sealed tight. While energy-efficient, they trap pollutants inside, creating a buildup of stale, contaminated air.

HVAC systems recirculate dust and toxins. Without high-grade filters or regular maintenance, your system may spread and not solve air quality issues.

Toxins are built in. New flooring, furniture, paint, and insulation can all release harmful chemicals for years (a process called “off-gassing”).

We bring pollutants in. Shoes, clothes, pets, and even candles or sprays all contribute to indoor pollution.

Humidity plays a role. Too much or too little indoor humidity can allow mold to grow or airborne particles to remain suspended longer.
