The Hidden Impact
of Poor Air

How indoor air affects your family’s wellbeing

When indoor air is compromised, the effects often show up quietly—through symptoms we may not immediately link to our environment. Poor air quality can contribute to:

• Breathing issues – coughing, wheezing, asthma flare-ups, and sinus congestion

• Sleep disruption – restless nights, morning fatigue, and headaches

• Skin and allergy reactions – eczema, rashes, itchy eyes, and sneezing

• Cognitive fog – difficulty concentrating, irritability, and low energy

Children, older adults, and those with sensitivities are especially vulnerable. And because many pollutants are invisible—like VOCs from furniture or fine particles from cooking—these effects can persist unnoticed.

Invisible, but impactful

Air quality affects more than just comfort—it shapes wellbeing

Most of us think of air as clean if it smells fresh. But indoor air can carry a mix of invisible particles and gases that quietly affect how we sleep, breathe, and feel. These include:

• Particulate matter (PM2.5) – tiny particles that reach deep into the lungs

• VOCs – airborne chemicals from paints, furniture, and cleaning products

• Mould spores and allergens – often hidden in soft furnishings or damp corners

• Carbon dioxide buildup – from poor ventilation, affecting sleep and focus

For families, especially those managing asthma, eczema, or hayfever, these exposures can trigger flare-ups, fatigue, and restless nights. Children are particularly sensitive, and symptoms often go unnoticed until they become chronic.
