It\u2019s not always common knowledge, however, air pollution can occur both indoors and outdoors. Environmental agencies have confirmed that air pollutants in homes and workplaces can be two to five times higher than the air pollution outdoors. Since there are no regular public updates on indoor air quality, testing companies such as Air Pressure Testing can help determine whether the air inside your home and\/or office is safe for you, your family, and\/or building occupants.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Unfortunately, pollutants are everywhere. These are particles and gases in the atmosphere that have the potential to harm humans and animals. Luckily APT has a vast amount of knowledge and experience when <a href=\"https:\/\/createdbyadam.co.uk\/aptsoundtesting\/blog\/air-quality-testing-for-voc-volatile-organic-compounds\/\">testing for air pollutants<\/a> such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-8553\" src=\"https:\/\/createdbyadam.co.uk\/aptsoundtesting\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/BREEAM-Indoor-Air-Quality-Testing-Equipment-9-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"BREEAM-Indoor-Air-Quality-Testing\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>Issues with poor indoor air quality<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">People in the United Kingdom can spend up to 80 percent of their time inside their homes, especially over the colder months, that is why the indoor air pollution in the state is of great concern. <a href=\"https:\/\/createdbyadam.co.uk\/aptsoundtesting\/blog\/air-quality-testing-for-voc-volatile-organic-compounds\/\">Poor air quality<\/a> poses a health risk to all persons living in the home, particularly children and the elderly. If some of the people you live with have allergies can be elevated by poor air quality that\u2019s circulating indoors or in the workplace. Often this leads to problems with the respiratory systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Some indicators that the air quality inside your home and\/or workplace is not that good include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Sneezing and coughing.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Waking up with a headache or chest\/nose congestion<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Feeling tired and irritable<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Episodes of sinus, asthma, or other respiratory ailments<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Irritated eyes, nose, or throat<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: left;\">Symptoms appearing when you are in certain parts of the house like the kitchen, basement, or bathroom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">When any of the above symptoms become worse in the warmer\/cooler months, it may be due to problems with your cooling and heating systems.
