Like right now, I’m in my apartment and just turned the A/C on because it feels stuffy. It’s not hot or humid, just… stuffy. What makes it feel that way?

If the air in your apartment doesn’t move and fresh air doesn’t come in from outside, contaminates build up over time. Your body detects these contaminates and you get a sensation of thickness of the air. Many things contribute to stale air – dust, pet dander, mold, smoke, chemicals, as well as odors from food, dirty socks, the toilet, etc.
