Home is the place where you can shrug off the stresses of the day, put your feet up, take a deep breath and relax. Unfortunately, the environmental testing experts here at AirMD we see a number of cases where indoor air quality testing in a home reveals that taking that deep breath \u2013 instead of making you feel better \u2013 may actually be making you and your family feel worse? <\/p>\n<p>It wouldn\u2019t be at all unusual for us to have a client come to us for a residential mold inspection and an air quality assessment in West Palm Beach, Boca Raton or Delray Beach. We might be told that various members of the family had been experiencing headaches or complaining of sinus troubles. Then, when the results come in from our indoor air test and mold testing, the family is still surprised to find that they can chalk about their health problems to sick building syndrome. <\/p>\n<h3>Sick Building Syndrome at Home<\/h3>\n<p>Usually, we associate sick building (SBS) syndrome with office buildings, factories, industrial facilities and other workplaces, but SBS isn\u2019t limited to large commercial buildings. Your favorite pizza place, your child\u2019s school and even your home could be undermining your health. <\/p>\n<p>As the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/sites\/production\/files\/2014-08\/documents\/sick_building_factsheet.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">EPA<\/a> explains, \u201cThe term \u2018sick building syndrome\u2019 (SBS) is used to describe situations in which building occupants experience acute health and comfort effects that appear to be linked to time spent in a building, but no specific illness or cause can be identified. The complaints may be localized in a particular room or zone, or may be widespread throughout the building.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>According to the EPA, there are many things that can be detrimental to the quality of the air in your home, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Chemical contaminants from exhausts in the bathroom and kitchen or from plumbing vents<\/li>\n<li>Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which can be found in pesticides, tobacco smoke, carpets and upholstery. <\/li>\n<li>An unvented space heater, a fireplace or oven<\/li>\n<li>Biological contamination from bird and insect droppings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you have concerns about the quality of the air inside your home, the environmental testing pros at AirMD can conduct <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airmd.com\/residentials\/wellness-testing\/\">Advanced Wellness Testing<\/a> to scientifically assess the condition of your indoor environment.
