The two common nitrogen oxides, nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide, are toxic gases. Nitrogen dioxide is corrosive and highly reactive. The gas can pollute your home from kerosene heaters, unvented combustion appliances, welding, and tobacco smoke. Nitrogen dioxide irritates the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract.
When released at high levels, it can cause pulmonary edema and acute bronchitis. Exposure to low levels of nitrogen dioxide might decrease lung function and increase the risk of respiratory infections. Make sure that your appliances are correctly installed and regularly maintained to minimize exposure.
7.2. Advanced Technologies for Monitoring of IAQ
If you’re concerned about what’s in the air you’re breathing at home, consider getting an air quality monitor. Iaq is a small, no-setup smart device that prevents unknown exposure to harmful air pollutants by giving you a reading of what’s in your air. Check it out on kickstarter today!.

There are two main things we’d like to get across about indoor air quality (iaq) right off the bat. First, scientific studies have given supporting evidence that indoor air quality can be worse than outdoor air pollution. This can be true in even the largest and most congested cities. Second, 90% of our time is estimated to be spent indoors, whether it’s at home, at school, in office buildings, or other public spheres. While the reality may seem bleak, the truth is indoor air quality is something we can, in large part, control. It’s about being educated on how to monitor, test, and improve air quality by mitigating or removing indoor pollutants.
To effectively reduce the number of indoor air pollutants in your space, we suggest taking measures to better control the air indoors. Thankfully, there is more than one way to improve your indoor air quality. And choosing the best indoor air quality control solution doesn’t even have to be a single choice. Rather, you can pursue a combination of control options from the main five iaq control strategies: source control, humidity control, filtration, purification and ventilation. All of which help reduce indoor air pollutants in your home. Source control is a combination of efforts, but primarily, it’s simply having a greater awareness of the sources and habits that impact indoor air quality.
