What Causes Poor Indoor Air Quality?
If you think that pollution is only a problem that you have to worry about outdoors, think again. The fact is that the air quality in a lot of properties is actually worse than in the outdoors surrounding them! There are a number of reasons why indoor air quality in your commercial property may suffer, including the following.
- Gases, smoke, and grease from cooking.
- Byproducts of manufacturing.
- Airtightness of building and lack of sufficient insulation.
- Heavy traffic into and out of the property.
- Proximity to major roadways and/or construction sites.
- Humidity/moisture levels.

It can be disheartening to hear that there is so much that can potentially go wrong with the commercial indoor air quality in one’s property. However, there is some good news. There are warning signs that can at least alert you to the presence of subpar indoor air quality in your property.
