Extreme Weather Affects Indoor Air Quality

June 9, 2011 -- Heat waves, floods, and other extreme weather may affect indoor air quality and increase the risk of health problems, according to a new report issued by the Institute of Medicine.

“We spend 90% of our time indoors, and climate change and how we adapt and respond to it will have an impact on our health,” says report author John D. Spengler, PhD, the Akira Yamaguchi Professor of Environmental Health and Human Habitation at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston.

Climate change, weatherization methods, and energy-efficient retrofits may be associated with indoor problems such as excessive temperatures and mold, causing dampness, poor ventilation, and emissions from building materials.

“People are experiencing intense heat outdoors, but vulnerable populations such as seniors are affected indoors because the buildings are under prolonged heat stress and the elements such as the walls get hot,” Spengler says.

There is also an increased production of pollen with the higher temperatures, which affects indoor and outdoor air quality, he says.

What’s more, brownouts and power failures caused by storms can negatively affect health. There are documented increases in carbon monoxide poisoning after storms because people buy portable electrical power generators that produce high levels of carbon monoxide. These generators should never be used indoors or in enclosed spaces, he says.

And “places also get wet that never got wet before, which leads to a cascade of mold growth and allergen production,” he says. “Some of these places have not had rainfall like this ever or in a very long time and now the buildings are drying out and we see consequences, such as molds.”
