With the frightful weather outside, most people are spending as much
time indoors as possible. This means that buildings are as airtight as
possible, and people are breathing more recirculated air. This increased
concentration of contaminants in the air makes the air quality in your home much
worse. But don’t worry; there are easy things you can do to get your air
quality back up!
The easiest- and best- way to keep the air clean is to keep
the rest of the house clean. Particularly in the winter, make sure you are dusting
and vacuuming regularly. Don’t forget to vacuum all cloth surfaces also, like
curtains and sofas.
Stop indoor air pollution at the source. Try to avoid toxic
cleaning solutions, and avoid using high-chemical hair and self-care products.
Be sure to have your home checked to make sure you do not have any old
equipment giving off emissions or unsealed asbestos.
Check the ducts. Dust and debris can easily build up and
spread particles throughout the air. Have them cleaned (or do it yourself)
regularly.
Pay attention to any air filters in your home. Be sure to regularly
clean them and replace them when the recommended time is up.
Consider buying an air purifier. They cannot keep your air
perfect, but they can majorly improve it, especially in the winter when
circulation is lower. Do some research to find the best one for your particular
home.
Also consider getting a humidifier. The excessively dry air
that tends to come with winter can cause health problems and is not helpful for
the already decreased air quality.
Air quality is often forgotten about, but it is extremely important to consider all year-round for health reasons.
