让流感和其他病毒远离你的家

Pollutants that affect indoor air quality can also affect your health. 在极少数情况下，室内空气质量差会导致特定疾病，如军团病. In other instances, you might have symptoms and feel ill effects because of poor air quality, but you might not be able to put your finger on a specific illness.

室内空气质量对健康的影响可能是立竿见影的, meaning they develop right away after exposure to a particular pollutant. 这些影响也可能是长期的, 这意味着症状可能需要数年才会出现, or you need repeated exposure to the contaminant to notice any ill effects.

Some of the immediate health effects of poor indoor air quality include:

• Headaches
• Dizziness
• Fatigue
• 刺激眼睛、喉咙或鼻子
• 呼吸困难(哮喘症状)
• Memory trouble
• Stuffy or runny nose

One way to tell if your symptoms are due to poor indoor air quality or another cause, such as a cold, is to evaluate when they occur. If you only feel sneezy or notice that your nose only runs when you’re indoors, then it’s more likely that something is going on with the air in your home, rather than a cold or flu.

室内空气质量差对健康的长期影响往往比流鼻涕或头痛更严重. 持续暴露在家庭或建筑中的污染物中可能会导致心脏或肺部疾病以及某些类型的癌症.
