When it comes to air pollution, most people envision smog or smoky green clouds, but in reality, it’s what we can’t see in the air that might be most harmful to our health. The air quality in  every home has become an essential issue to homeowners and health professionals alike.

The Indoor Air Quality can be affected by factors such as microbial contaminants, particulates, energy stressors, or gases that can induce adverse health conditions. It is estimated that people spend about seventy to ninety percent of their time indoors, and more than half of that time is spent within their own home, which is why it is crucial to be fully aware of the quality of your home’s air.

Tips to Improve Indoor Air Quality

#1 Minimize the chemical pollutants

• Stop smoking tobacco inside the house. Tobacco smoke has thousands of air pollutants in high concentrations.
• Many household products such as cleaners, aerosol cans, and pesticides contain and release organic vapors, which have been known to cause adverse health effects.
• Combustible products also play a significant role in IAQ, as tobacco smoke or household appliances such as furnaces, heaters, candles, and gas or wood stoves can all directly affect the overall quality of your home’s air.
• Perform certain activities outside your home like cutting plywood, painting, sanding, rock polishing, and soldering outside the house. These activities create high pollution levels, so doing them outside the house is the best way out.

#2 Improve ventilation

If you let outdoor air come inside the house, you will control pollution to some extent. Air conditioning systems are not designed to bring fresh air inside. So, you have to open the doors and windows when the weather is conducive. Sometimes, there is a tendency to focus only on preventing dust from entering our homes, but ventilation is sacrificed. Do watch out for this major mistake and enable good ventilation in your home.

#3 Regular Air Conditioner Cleaning
