Is it dangerous?

We all know that we spend a lot of time at home and people who are particularly exposed to indoor air pollution are the ones that spend most of their time at home like children, or old people and people with lung disease which suffer the most because of the indoor air pollution.

A real fact is that many of the contaminating substances give no warning and produce unclear and sometimes similar symptoms that are hard to put down to a specific cause. Many symptoms occur years later when it will be even harder to discover the cause.
Based on a research that has been made on industrial and outdoor air pollution and a current research on a diversity of indoor pollutants, nowadays we can identify many dangerous substances.

Indoor air pollutants

Nitrogen Dioxide is an outdoor air pollutant which can also be frequently found indoor. Researchers have found that the Nitrogen Dioxide can have a higher level indoor than outdoor which can be an effect of outside sources and other inside combustion sources.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas that often pollutes the outdoor air. Indoor concentration of this gas has been found in many homes. Nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide share the same indoor sources. Carbon monoxide can slow or even interrupt the circulation of the oxygen to the human body. Depending on the quantity inhaled, this gas can be very dangerous and it can produce a lot of life treating symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, headaches and much more. Very high levels of carbon monoxide can lead to sudden death.

Even dust can be categorized as an indoor air pollutant as long as it carries all kind of germs and bacteria inside your home.

Definition of Humidity

Humidity is basically the amount of moisture and water vapors in the air. People and animals produce moisture when they breathe or perspire. Even the plants inside your house will generate moisture. Regular household activities like bathing, cocking and so on will add air water vapors to indoor air. More moisture can accumulate in your house from the surrounding soil through a basement or crawl space.

When do you need a humidity test?

It is very important to test the humidity inside your home because humidity is essential for our pleasure and health and much or less humidity can produce a lot of difficulties for householders.
Many problems are nothing much than nuisances but others could be much more serious.
Humidity problems frequently occur during the summer when our windows are not opened, and indoor air circulation is reduced. Instead of wondering whether or not you have a humidity related problem inside your home, why not find out for sure and test your indoor humidity?

How to test humidity?

The easiest and cheapest way to test the humidity is a small and simple instrument called hygrometer which is also known as a humidity sensor. Other people use to call this device a relative humidity indicator. With a hygrometer you can test your indoor humidity and verify if there is too much or too less humidity. Once you know for sure you can make a decision whether any action is required and if so what kind of action.
The hygrometer will display the relative humidity in your house. Although the relative humidity is not going to be the same all over your house, just one hygrometer is more than enough for a single house. You have to put the hygrometer where the humidity problems are most noticeable, in the room that you are most worried about, or where your family use to rest. Because hygrometers are small devices, they can be placed anywhere in your house and moved in each room to test the humidity all around your house. Be careful that you don’t place the hygrometer close to a heating source or anywhere else where it could be exposed to heat.
With a hygrometer you can’t take an instant humidity test and it may take up to 2 hours to provide a stable reading in a new location or to adjust to unexpected changes in relative humidity.
