Indoor air quality is of great importance for an overall healthy lifestyle. According to Green Guard, “Indoor Air is 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air [and] people spend 90 percent of their time indoors.” This makes everyday activities, such as going to the office, school or even staying home, much more dangerous for your family’s long-term health and wellness.
Higher risks for poor indoor air quality can come in the form or airborne chemicals, mold or high moisture in the air, or even just a poor ventilation system or air filter. Luckily, there are several easy steps that can be taken to help keep the air in your home as healthy as possible. These include:
- Purchasing an air filter that is capable of picking up most dust and allergens and diligently changing that filter.
- Regularly checking your home for mold, mildew, or excessive moisture where it doesn’t belong.
- Cleaning your home thoroughly and dust regularly to avoid a build-up.
If you feel your home is subject to poor air quality, contact your local air system provider for support, further information, and help with the next step to ensuring your family’s health.
