When your residential or commercial property catches fire, the effects of the smoke remain long after the flames are extinguished. Smoke penetrates your property’s infrastructure. It can seep into HVAC systems, crawl spaces, attics, wall cavities, and ductwork to pose immediate and long-term health risks. Right Restoration Partners’ proven fire damage and smoke removal services can restore your property quickly and help you avoid the health risks associated with smoke damage.
Smoke is a mixture of gases and microscopic particles. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), fine particulate matter in smoke, known as PM2.5, poses the greatest risk to health. These particles are about 30 times smaller than a human hair and can bypass your body’s natural defenses to lodge deep in your lungs. There, they can enter your bloodstream and cause systemic damage.
Smoke also contains toxic air pollutants, including:
These compounds irritate your respiratory system and trigger inflammatory responses throughout your body.
The health effects of smoke exposure can begin within minutes of inhalation. You may experience:
Beyond off-putting fire damage odor effects and immediate symptoms, smoke can cause long-term complications, including:
Children’s lungs are still developing, and they breathe more air per pound of body weight than adults, making them particularly susceptible to smoke-related health issues. Children, older adults, pregnant women, and people with preexisting heart or lung disease face heightened risks. Specifically, people with asthma, COPD, heart disease, or other chronic conditions are at a higher risk of serious medical emergencies.
After a fire, smoke particles penetrate deep into your property’s hidden spaces. Contaminated HVAC systems circulate toxic particles throughout your home or business. Smoke odor and residue embed themselves into walls, insulation, and structural materials, making remediation exponentially more difficult and expensive.
