Indoor air can contain a variety of pollutants that impact comfort and health, often without being immediately visible.
The most common indoor air pollutants include:
– Dust and dust mites that build up on surfaces and in ductwork
– Pollen that enters the home from outside
– Pet dander from animals
– Mold spores, especially in areas with moisture
– Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from cleaning products, paints, and household chemicals
– Smoke from cooking, fireplaces, or tobacco
These pollutants can circulate through your HVAC system and affect the air you breathe every day.
In Albuquerque, where dry air and dust are common, airborne particles can build up quickly if filtration and ventilation are not properly maintained.
Reducing indoor air pollutants often involves a combination of regular cleaning, proper HVAC maintenance, and improved air filtration or purification.
