Part 1 of 5: The Five Danger Levels of Indoor Air Quality

Danger Level 1 – Toxic Compounds

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) lists fiver danger levels of indoor air quality that can cause health issues, with the first being toxic compounds. Toxic compounds can be emitted from many things inside your home such as building materials, furniture, carpets, paints, and cleaning chemicals. Exterior pollutants such as pesticides, herbicides, and natural gases are also of concern.

These compounds can create a toxic environment in your home that may cause an allergic reaction. Homes are now better insulated and being built more efficiently, which may cause these chemicals to become trapped indoors. Childhood asthma has increased 600% over the last 30 years.
