Hello World! Welcome Friends! Nothing is more crucial than the air your family breathes. Breathing in clean, uncontaminated air is essential for the health and wellbeing of everyone and especially vital to those that suffer from respiratory conditions.
Vehicle fumes and factories that billow out smoke are things most people associate with air pollution. While it may seem obvious that outside the congested city streets and industrial areas are polluted, you may not know that the air quality in your home can also be poor. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can contain between two to five times higher levels of some contaminants compared with outdoor air. So, being aware of the potential impact of indoor air quality is vital to keep your home environment healthy. If you are keen to make changes to your home to improve the air quality, these tips should help you to get started:
Keep Up With Maintenance
Staying on top of home maintenance tasks will help to keep the air quality in your home at a healthier level. Ensuring your heating and air conditioning systems are serviced regularly is a great way to prevent them from distributing potentially harmful contaminants around your home. If the air ducts or filters are blocked with dust and pollen particles, these can be circulated around your house and potentially cause issues. If you have family members that experience allergies, these particles can exacerbate their condition, so getting your HVAC system serviced is essential.
Use an Air Purifier
Even with your best efforts around the home, it can be challenging to know whether your indoor air is of good quality. To provide extra peace of mind, you may want to introduce an air purifier to your home. Air purifiers such as the Hunter ExtremeAir HPF500 remove airborne particles containing potential allergens, such as pet hair and dust mites. Not all air purifiers offer the same level of air filtration, so it is worth checking the features of the product to ensure it suits your needs. When you choose the best air purifier for your home, it can be an effective way to improve your indoor air quality.
Take Care When Cleaning
Strong cleaning products may make your home feel spotless, but they could be having an adverse impact on your health. The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are released from some cleaning products can cause irritation to people with respiratory conditions such as asthma. VOCs from cleaning products can also trigger headaches and allergic reactions in people without respiratory diseases, so taking great care when choosing your cleaning products is essential. Natural cleaning products may seem like the obvious alternative. However, even natural products can contain ingredients that could impact your home’s air quality. So, when shopping for cleaning products, it is helpful to read the labels to check they do not contain VOCs or other potentially harmful substances. By carefully shopping for your cleaning products, you can keep your house clean without compromising your home’s air quality.
