Is Your Indoor Air Making You Sick? 5 Warning Signs to Watch For
Breathe Better, Live Better
Most people focus on diet, exercise, or sleep to stay healthy. But there’s one vital element they often overlook: indoor air quality (IAQ). We take over 20,000 breaths a day—and if the air in your home or workplace is stale, polluted, or overly humid, it could quietly be making you sick.
At LoFlowAir, we’ve helped thousands of Australians improve their indoor environments with smart air solutions. Here are 5 common signs your indoor air might be affecting your health—and what to do about it.
1. Constant Fatigue or Brain Fog Indoors
If you feel mentally sharp outside but foggy or drained indoors, poor IAQ could be to blame. Culprits include:
- Poor ventilation and stagnant air
- High carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels
- Off-gassing from furniture, carpets, and paint (VOCs)
These reduce oxygen flow to the brain, affecting focus, memory, and mood.
2. Sneezing, Coughing, or Itchy Eyes Without a Cold
Chronic allergy symptoms indoors may point to:
- Dust, pet dander, or pollen trapped in the air
- Mould spores from damp corners
- Smoke or fine particles from bushfires or urban pollution
HEPA air purifiers can reduce these irritants and improve respiratory comfort.
3. Frequent Headaches or Sinus Pressure
Do you wake up congested or reach for painkillers too often at home?
- High humidity or poor ventilation can trigger sinus inflammation
- Airborne VOCs from cleaning agents, glue, or plastics add to the burden
- Bacteria or mould in HVAC systems may go unnoticed
Addressing IAQ often solves the issue more effectively than medication.
4. Chronic Health Conditions Are Getting Worse
Poor air can worsen symptoms for those with:
- Asthma, allergies, or eczema
- Autoimmune disorders
- Chemical sensitivities
- Children or elderly in the household
Dehumidifiers, UV-C sanitisers, and multi-stage air filters can help create a safer, healthier space.
5. Lingering Odours That Signal Deeper Issues
If your home or office has a constant musty or chemical smell, don’t ignore it. It may indicate:
- Hidden mould behind walls
- Bacteria growth in ducts or vents
- VOC build-up from materials or poor airflow
These smells often hint at long-term health risks and structural issues.
