You’ve likely heard the term indoor air quality before, and you may even understand how important it is, but Temp Air System Inc. wants to make sure you realize what could potentially be affecting the quality of air in your home.
When you are spending a fair amount of time in your home you can permit dust, dirt, and other contaminants to build up within your home and affect the air inside. It might be hard to believe, but the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has found that concentrations of pollutants can be up to 100 times higher indoors versus outdoors.
- Remove the contaminants – One of the best ways to increase the air quality is to eliminate dust and debris. Vacuum and clean weekly to remove the contaminants. You should also wash your bed linens frequently.
- Properly store household products and cleaning supplies – This helps to keep any fumes contained, especially for anyone in your family who may be sensitive to odors.
- Ensure your home is properly ventilated – Newer houses are well-insulated and sealed to help conserve energy, so it’s wise to have proper ventilation to allow airborne pollutants to depart from the home.
- Control the amount of moisture in the home – The EPA also suggests keeping indoor humidity levels between 30 and 50 percent.
