🔍 How Indoor Air Affects Your Health
Your lungs react to what you breathe in — even the things you can’t see or smell.

Common indoor air concerns include:
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) – gases emitted from paints, cleaners, furniture, and air fresheners

Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) – tiny particles that can lodge deep in the lungs

Ozone – produced by some air purifiers and cleaning devices

These pollutants may contribute to:

Irritated eyes, nose, or throat

Asthma attacks

Headaches or fatigue

Increased risk of lung infections
