The Link Between Indoor Air Quality and Allergies

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, the average person spends around 90% of their day indoors. Improving indoor air quality is vital because it allows you to breathe easier and boosts your heart and respiratory health. Many people don’t know that cleaning an allergen-filled home may kick up dust and other contaminants that induce asthma or allergy-like symptoms such as watery eyes and sneezing. So, while you may try to improve air quality on your own, you might actually be making the situation worse.

Poor indoor air quality can lead to pollen, pet, and mold allergies. Living with these allergens can often lead to reactions and weaken your immune system. Thankfully, at J Newton Cohen, we offer professional indoor air quality solutions, so you can breathe pure and fresh air. With our high-quality equipment and friendly team, you’ll wish you had improved your air quality sooner.

Additionally, humidity plays a tremendous role in indoor air quality. High humidity causes the air to feel warmer than it actually is, which provides an ideal environment for dust mites and mold—both of which can agitate allergies. We offer dehumidifiers to pull water from the air and preserve your indoor air quality so you aren’t uncomfortable in your own home.
