Problems Breathing? Test the Air Quality in Your Home!

Do you or your family members suffer from any of these symptoms?

  • Nasal discharge, congestion, sinusitis
  • Sneezing, coughing
  • Shortness of breath, asthma
  • Headaches

Did you know that an excessive presence of mold in your home could be the cause of these problems?

Mold grows more easily if the humidity level inside is high. Science shows that these two issues result in poor indoor air quality.

In other words, the air you breathe in your home could be harming your health and that of your family.

Why Test the Air Quality in Your Home?

The air quality in your home can cause health problems.

This happens when mold grows excessively in your home. It hides fungi that are invisible to the naked eye. These fungi release mycotoxins into the air. These are the particles that can be inhaled and may cause respiratory issues.

Renovating your home can also introduce mold into the air.

This is the case when vermiculite is present in the insulation. Vermi-what? Vermiculite: a granular mineral, somewhat like cereal or feed. An excellent insulator, but potentially dangerous to your health.

Indeed, vermiculite can contain asbestos, a fiber that should absolutely not be disturbed. Otherwise, it may end up in the air. According to Health Canada, inhaling asbestos can cause respiratory diseases and even cancer.
