Pollutants in the air

Pollutants in indoor air – what symptoms can occur?

Pollutants in the air are not uncommon. How often do we complain about headaches, the causes of which are not immediately apparent? Often, we simply dismiss the problem and think it is due to stress and too much work. However, these physical symptoms can develop a dynamic of their own that should make us think. Toxins and poor air quality can play as much of a role as the air quality itself. So, it might be time to conduct a check and take a closer look at the pollutants in your indoor air...

Against household toxins!

This can affect private individuals, tenants, homeowners, as well as parents with small children, where health problems arise that are initially not taken seriously but can worsen over time.

Few people think of deeper causes when they have a headache. But poor air quality is certainly one aspect that may suggest toxins in the indoor air. Therefore, it is important to get to the bottom of these headaches, just as much as the air quality in your home. Have you ever considered having an air analysis done?

On the trail of the headaches...

Air analyses are at the top of the agenda when it comes to physical symptoms whose causes are not immediately apparent. Is it just a minor discomfort, or is there a serious problem behind it? It may well be that headaches represent an initial cry for help, which brings unexplained connections to light.

Professional environmental analyses provide you with security because potential health risks are lurking everywhere today. The air in your living space is essential for your life – so don’t delay if you suspect mold spores and other harmful substances are behind your health problems.

Nothing is more important than your health – don’t give household toxins a chance and trust a professional environmental analysis from the competent test laboratory!

Headaches vs. household toxins!

There is a close connection between air quality and personal health. If we consider that we breathe in and out about 10,000 liters of air daily, this airflow does not undergo sufficient analyses.

Mold

Switzerland is also affected by this, as up to 5,500 premature deaths per year are attributed to air pollution. Health risks from polluted indoor air have also been identified by the WHO as a significant factor.

Pollutants can enter homes in three ways. First, ventilation plays a significant role, allowing for quick and direct contamination, and second, objects in the home can release toxins. The third aspect is mold, which forms and proliferates due to high humidity.

All of these pollutants can lead to chronic illnesses such as asthma or allergies. Additionally, impairments to the heart, circulatory system, brain, and skin are not uncommon. Reproduction or embryonic development can also be affected. 

Quick help through professional analysis!

There is quick help available for all three types of contamination – focusing on about 50 different health-threatening substances. The long-term air analysis focuses on pollutants in the air, which are often caused by wood preservatives in older buildings. Mold quick tests are also available and supported by transparent mold laboratory analyses.
