Breath Better: Enhance Your Air Quality

Welcome to our guide on improving indoor air quality!

Did you know that Americans are spending less and less time outside, with research estimating that we spend about 90% of our time indoors? That’s a lot of time breathing indoor air, which can actually contain two to five times higher concentrations of pollutants than typical outdoor levels.

But where does this indoor air pollution come from? According to experts, everyday items in our homes like furniture, gas stoves, cleaning products, and carpets are the main culprits. Even activities like smoking, using cleaning chemicals, and burning candles can contribute to indoor pollution.

So how can you keep the air inside your home clean? You can start by inspecting your HVAC system twice a year to ensure it’s working properly and the vents are open. Installing a central air system can also help deliver filtered, recirculated air throughout your home. And when cooking, don’t forget to use your kitchen exhaust fan or open a window to draw out particles and gases.
