The Heart of the Matter

At Team Home Solutions, we believe in the profound connection between a healthy home and a healthy heart. While many people are aware of outdoor air pollution's impact on cardiovascular health, the significance of poor indoor air quality often goes overlooked. In this article, we'll delve into how the air you breathe indoors can affect your heart and how our indoor air quality services can make a positive difference.

The Link Between Indoor Air Quality and Heart Health

Research has shown a compelling link between poor indoor air quality and adverse cardiovascular effects. Indoor air pollutants such as mold spores, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter can infiltrate our living spaces, triggering or exacerbating cardiovascular conditions. 

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), long-term exposure to indoor air pollution can contribute to the development of heart diseases, including coronary artery disease and heart failure. They recently stated that "Indoor air pollution may impact cardiovascular health. Fine particulate matter, mold, environmental tobacco smoke, and other indoor pollutants may contribute to heart disease."

Mold, VOCs, and Cardiovascular Health

Mold is a common indoor air pollutant that can have detrimental effects on respiratory health, but its impact on the cardiovascular system is equally concerning. Mold produces mycotoxins, which, when inhaled, can lead to inflammation and oxidative stress. These factors contribute to the development and progression of cardiovascular diseases. 

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), often emitted by household products and building materials, can have a direct impact on cardiovascular health. Studies have shown that exposure to high levels of VOCs may increase the risk of heart attacks and other cardiovascular events.
