Yes. While no one completely understands what causes asthma, various substances and conditions are known to lead to asthma symptoms, commonly called asthma attacks. These substances and conditions, known as triggers, can be directly related to conditions in one’s home. Common housing-related asthma triggers include dust mites, pet dander, rodent infestation, cockroach infestation, environmental tobacco smoke, excessive moisture, mold, home temperatures that are either too hot or too cold, and indoor pesticide use.
