Improving Indoor Air Quality Improving indoor air quality is one of the most important things you can do for your and your family’s health. It’s also surprisingly simple. By following these five tips, you can make sure that you have a place to live that isn’t slowly harming you.
Don’t Smoke In The House If you have any smokers in your home, make sure that they smoke as far away from the house as possible. Smoking is dangerous enough as it is, but secondhand smoke can seriously harm the air quality of the home.
Reduce the Use of Air Freshener There was a study done that found that one popular brand of plug in air freshener emitted 20 compounds that could be harmful to human health. These compounds were part of the fragrance formula, which is kept off the label as a trade secret.
Test for Radon Radon is often dubbed the ‘silent killer’, and for good reason. Radon is naturally occurring in the earth, seeping from the earth into homes and leading to radon poisoning, which could lead to lung cancer.
Keep Humidity at A Moderate Level Keep humidity at between 35-50%. Your dehumidifier will help considerably with this, but there are other ways to reduce humidity such as to make sure your clothes dryer is properly vented to the outside, and to open the window when boiling food.
Vacuum Your Floors Regularly By keeping your floors well vacuumed (and using a vacuum with a HEPA filter), you keep a lot of the air irritants in check. Click here for more information!
