Additional Causes of Poor Air Quality

Indoor air pollutants may even include everyday items such as dry erase markers, paint, chalk, cleaning materials, garbage, and personal care products. In some cases, other factors such as noise, lighting, and job, family and peer-related stresses can contribute to the perception of air quality problems.
Why Air Quality Testing is Important
Indoor air pollutants can cause a variety of health symptoms including eye and skin irritation, dizziness, respiratory problems, congestion, coughing, and sneezing. People with asthma and other respiratory diseases are especially at risk of having dangerous reactions to contaminates.
