Is Your Home Pollution Free?
February 3rd, 2010 | 
Impure and polluted air inside your home can be dangerous and result in asthma and bring on symptoms of allergy as well. The American Lung Association offers these suggestions to help keep the air clean at home:
- Don’t allow anyone to smoke in your home.
- Have your home tested for radon gas.
- High levels of humidity can have negative repercussions. Make sure your home’s humidity level is below 50 per cent. Install a dehumidifier if you stay in a high-humidity zone.
- Have all the pipes and drains of your home examined. If a tap is dripping, or a pipe is leaking, have it fixed rightaway as it will attract mold.
- Get into the habit of covering all your food items – whether it is lying outside or stashed away in the refrigerator. You will be warding off cockroaches and thanking your stars.
- Open windows and doors to let out stale smells, but do not use candles or sprays to hide odours as it just becomes worse.
- Go for organic household products as they do not have any side-effects. Most chemical products contain toxics which harm human beings.
