Home is where you spend more time than anywhere else: a place for you to relax and take care of yourself. But what if the air you and your loved ones breathe is making you sick?
Indoor air pollution can be up to five times worse than outdoor air. From allergens to virus particles, indoor air pollution contributes to a range of health issues, and many of them can have serious effects. Pollutants trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems, especially in young children.
What’s making you sick?
Common indoor air pollutants include:
Chemicals used in paints, carpets, and cleaning supplies;
Allergens from pet dander, pollen, mold, and dust mites;
Biological contaminants like bacteria, viruses, and more;
Radon is a radioactive gas that seeps into homes from the ground. One of every 15 homes in the U.S. have an elevated level of radon.
How you can make your air healthier at home:
Ventilate: Open windows and doors regularly, especially during mild weather months.
Replace your air filters: These are typically installed in your HVAC system and prevent some pollutants from circulating throughout your home. Replace them regularly and be sure you are using the correct filter type for your system.
Consider an air purification system: These devices can attach to your existing HVAC system to ensure that the air that circulates in your home is as healthy as possible. If you have allergies or other respiratory issues, an air purifier can help remove pollutants from the air. An air purifier can also help remove virus particles, which is especially helpful for those with compromised immune systems.
Maintain your HVAC system: Regular maintenance can help ensure your heating and cooling systems are operating efficiently and not contributing to indoor air problems.
