Air Filtration: Signs A Home Is Full Of Germs

Respiratory Problems

Obviously, if the air in a home is dirty or contaminated with germs, the occupants will likely experience respiratory problems due to breathing in dirty air all the time until something is done to clean it up. If home air filters aren’t functioning properly, particulates from the outside air can enter the home. These particulates are most often smoke particles, pollen or spores, industrial pollutants, or even just dust. When breathed in, these fine particulates can result in a variety of respiratory issues such as frequent coughs, scratchy or sore throats, or wheezing. Individuals may also experience shortness of breath due to the effort it will take their bodies to breathe properly.
