How Harmful to Your Health Is The Air in Your Home?

 
Is The Air in Your Home Hurting You?

by Brandon Hopkins

Many people never think about it, I never did. Is the air in your home hurting you? Have you ever noticed odd smells? Dust? Mold? Pollen?

Many people never think about the air in their homes, but it can be harmful. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that the air inside of homes can be between 2 and 5 times more harmful than outside air. On top of that, most Americans spend about 90% of their time indoors.

Now that you know how serious clean air is, what can you do to get your air cleaner?

1. Get an air purifier
Air purifiers come in many sizes and models. Some are designed to clean small rooms, while others can clean an entire home. If you are trying to protect you and your family from particles such as smoke, dust, pollen, and mold spores, find a HEPA filter air purifier. HEPA stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air (filter) and is designed to completely remove particles floating around in your home or office. HEPA will capture just about everything except gases.

2. Open some windows
When the weather permits, open some windows and get some air circulating. The air outside is usually better for you than the air inside. If you have fans, stick them near the windows. If you have a whole house fan, turn it on as often as possible. After you have had the windows open for a while, shu t them and then turn your air purifiers and let them run. Your air purifier will remove the particles that entered while the windows were open.

 
3. Check for mold
If you home has flooded or has moisture in your home, you may have a mold problem. If you have never checked for mold, you may want to. There are DIY mold removal kits or you can hire a certified mold inspector and remover.

If you want you and you family to be a healthy and happy family, follow these 3 easy steps and you'll be on your way to clean air in no time!
