Respiratory Distress
Exposure to construction debris may cause difficulties in breathing, shortness of breath, and wheezing. These symptoms may be particularly severe in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Skin Irritation
Construction debris can irritate the skin, leading to redness, itching, and in severe cases, swelling or blisters. This may be due to contact with allergenic materials or contaminated dust. Protective clothing can limit exposure and help prevent skin reactions.
Eye Irritation
If construction debris particles land in the eyes, they may cause discomfort, redness, watery eyes, and blurred vision. Wearing safety glasses can protect the eyes from debris.
Nasal Congestion
Nasal congestion is a common symptom of construction debris allergies. Individuals may experience a stuffy or runny nose, sneezing, and sinus pressure. These symptoms are caused by the body's immune response to allergens present in the debris.
Headaches
The dust and particulates in construction debris may exacerbate sinus congestion and pressure, leading to headaches. Furthermore, certain chemicals or toxins present in debris may directly contribute to headache symptoms.
Fatigue
Fatigue is a common symptom of many allergies, including those caused by construction debris. The body's immune response to allergens can cause tiredness and fatigue. This symptom may be exacerbated by poor sleep quality due to nighttime allergy symptoms.
