Most dangerous indoor air pollutants are completely undetectable without scientific testing, making professional assessment crucial for safety. Carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless but potentially fatal, often produced by faulty heating systems or vehicle exhaust infiltration. Mold spores circulate invisibly through HVAC systems, causing respiratory problems without visible growth. Chemical vapors from building materials, furniture, and cleaning products can reach harmful levels without noticeable odor. Microscopic particulate matter penetrates deep into lungs, while allergens like dust mites and pollen trigger reactions even when not visible. Professional testing reveals these hidden threats that your senses cannot detect.
