It might surprise you to know that the air inside your home can be 2-5 times dirtier than the air outside your home. When the air outside in South Carolina is bad, the South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control recommends that you stay indoors. Let Branham & Buck help you create a safer and cleaner environment inside your home.
 What Causes Indoor Air Problems?
There can be many sources of indoor air pollution in any home.
- dust
- pollen
- pet dander
- mold
- skin flakes
- chemical fumes
- cigarette smoke
- Radon
- wet or damp carpet
- improperly operating central heating and cooling systems and humidification devices
 Indoor Air and Your Health
Health effects from indoor air pollutants may be experienced soon after exposure or, possibly years later. Immediate effects may show up after a single exposure or repeated exposures. These can include irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, headaches, dizziness, and fatigue. Such immediate effects are usually short-term and treatable. Sometimes the treatment is simply eliminating the person's exposure to the source of the pollution, once it has been identified. Symptoms of some diseases, including asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, and humidifier fever, may also show up soon after exposure to some indoor air pollutants.
