Midwestern Air Quality:
What’s the Impact?
At Risk for Radon
Living in the Midwest, your risk for radon is high. The geological makeup of the region allows radon to lurk, entering through cracks or holes in your foundation. No matter where you live, it’s best to test once per year.
Common Air Quality Threats
Like other parts of the country, your air quality in the Midwest is affected by common threats like tree pollen, smoke, fertilizers, and radon.
Average Temperature Range
Summers are wet and muggy, winters are very cold and snowy—the Midwest offers the best of both worlds, with an average temperature of 22°F to 89°F each year.
Average Annual Precipitation
Rainfall plays a big part in the Midwest's air quality, with an average annual precipitation of 37.72 inches. This rainfall leads to damp environments and flooding that increase airborne contaminants.
At Risk for Wildfires
The risk of wildfires and wildfire smoke is common in the Midwest. No matter the source, excessive amounts of smoke can pollute the outdoor air for miles, eventually entering your home and impacting your home.
Dry Winter Season
Winter weather causes temperatures to drop, and humidity levels dwindle as well. Too little moisture in winter can be troubling for you and your family when it comes to dry, itchy skin and nasal passages as well as battling seasonal illnesses like the flu.
