Pollutants in Indoor Air – What Symptoms Can Occur?

Pollutants in the air Indoor air analysis – making pollutants visible

Pollutants in the air are not uncommon. Many complain of headaches or fatigue with no discernible cause. Stress is quickly suspected – but often, poor air quality is behind it. Indoor toxins, mold, or wood preservatives can cause symptoms that are easily overlooked. Time for an air quality check!

Against Indoor Toxins!

In addition to allergy sufferers, parents with children, elderly people, and sensitive individuals are particularly at risk. Initially harmless symptoms like headaches, irritated eyes, or respiratory problems can worsen – often unnoticed.

When experiencing health complaints, also consider environmental factors. An indoor air analysis provides clarity and protects your health long-term.

Tracking Down Headaches…

Professional indoor air analyses help detect harmful substances such as formaldehyde, VOCs, or biocides. Headaches and concentration problems can be initial warning signs – don't ignore them.

Headaches vs. Indoor Toxins!

We breathe around 10,000 liters of air daily – an air analysis is therefore as important as a blood test at the doctor's.

Mold Mold: Invisible danger in living spaces

According to the European Environment Agency, up to 5,500 people in Switzerland die prematurely each year due to air pollution. The WHO classifies poor indoor air as a serious health risk.

Pollutants can enter living spaces through furniture, flooring, wall paints, or from external sources (e.g., traffic). Mold growth due to high humidity is also a common problem.

The consequences range from asthma, allergies, and circulatory problems to skin irritations and impaired fertility.

Quick Help Through Professional Analysis!

An indoor air analysis tests for around 50 relevant pollutants – from VOCs to wood preservatives. This can be vital, especially in old buildings. Mold tests and laboratory analyses also provide transparency.
