The Importance of Indoor Air Quality
Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is more than just a trendy term making the rounds on your news feed — it’s a pivotal element of our health and wellness. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have underscored the danger that comes with bad indoor air quality. The health consequences of inhaling polluted indoor air can be extreme, ranging from respiratory ailments to lung cancer.
D&F Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling isn’t just about fixing pipes and adjusting thermostats. We’re here to ensure the air you breathe inside your home is free from harmful pollutants and particulate matter. With The Plaid Pros, you always get a straightforward commitment to clean, healthy air.
The Silent Threats of Indoor Air
It might sound crazy at first, but indoor air can be more polluted than outdoor air. Factors like indoor air pollutants, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and secondhand smoke can degrade air quality inside our homes and offices. Building materials, air fresheners, and even improperly adjusted gas stoves can release harmful pollutants into the indoor environment as well.
The Role of Ventilation
Proper ventilation also plays a pivotal role in maintaining acceptable indoor air quality. Without adequate ventilation, pollutants can accumulate — leading to poor air quality. Inadequate ventilation and poor ventilation can trap these pollutants inside, exacerbating health issues.

How Do You Know You Need an Air Quality Assessment?
If you’ve never had an indoor air quality assessment, we recommend getting one. As a home is lived in over the years, mold and pollutants can easily build up. You might be surprised by how much and where. We specialize in locating the “mini-polluters” in your home.
Air quality can substantially impact an individual’s health. It’s why the Environmental Protection Agency is tasked with regulating outdoor air pollution. It’s why most indoor smoking sections were banned in Oregon in 1981; and as of 2017, you’re not even allowed to smoke within 10 feet of a door. Only recently though has the air quality conversation shifted from public spaces to private homes. It’s surprising – after all, the air you breathe in your home is the air you breathe most often.

We Install Air Scrubbers, Too
Designed to limit the spread of germs and viruses, air scrubbers are powerful machines that clean a large volume of air very quickly. More and more commercial and industrial spaces have been installing air scrubbers in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Natural Ventilation
Whenever possible, allow fresh air to flow into your indoor spaces. Natural ventilation can help reduce indoor air pollutants and introduce fresh air, improving the overall air quality.
Be Aware of Indoor Pollutants
From smoking indoors to using certain building materials, be mindful of the sources of indoor air pollution. It goes without saying, but you should opt for natural products and avoid using chemical pollutants that can degrade air quality.
The Detrimental Effects of Poor Air Quality
It’s alarming and downright upsetting that poor air quality is not just an outdoor phenomenon. Many homes and businesses suffer from indoor air pollution, which can be even more harmful than outside pollutants. The World Health Organization has identified indoor air pollution as a significant health risk, affecting millions globally.
Understanding Indoor Air Pollution
Unlike many of the alien invasions you might see in movies, indoor air pollution is a silent invader. It’s made up of a mix of contaminants, including dust, pollen, pet dander, mold spores, and harmful chemicals from household products. These pollutants can degrade the air quality inside our homes and offices, leading to various health issues ranging from allergies to respiratory diseases.
Outdoor Air Pollution’s Influence Indoors
While we often associate air pollution with smog, vehicle emissions, and industrial fumes, it’s important to understand that outdoor air pollution can significantly impact indoor air quality. Pollutants from outside can easily infiltrate our homes and offices, especially with inadequate ventilation. This makes ensuring a continuous flow of fresh air indoors to dilute these pollutants even more vital.
Steps to Improve Indoor Air Quality
Much like maintaining a friendship or relationship, improving indoor air quality is an ongoing commitment. Here are some steps you can take:
- Regular Ventilation: Ensure that your home or office is well-ventilated. Open windows and doors regularly to allow outdoor air to circulate and replace the stale indoor air.
- Air Purifiers: Invest in a good air purifier. These devices can filter out many common pollutants, enhancing indoor air quality.
- Houseplants: Plants like the spider plant, peace lily, and Boston fern are known to improve indoor air quality by absorbing pollutants.
- Reduce Use of VOCs: Volatile Organic Compounds, found in many household products, can degrade air quality. Opt for natural or low-VOC products whenever possible.
- Regular Cleaning: Dust and vacuum your home regularly. Ensure that your HVAC systems and air ducts are clean, as they can harbor and circulate pollutants.
The Path to Fresher, Cleaner Air
Improving indoor air quality is not just about equipment and gadgets. It’s about being aware and making informed choices. By understanding the sources of indoor and outdoor pollution and taking proactive steps, we can ensure that the air we breathe indoors is as fresh and clean as possible. After all, clean air is not just a luxury; it’s a necessity for our health and well-being.
