Tips for Improving Indoor Air Quality


Introduction

Did you know that indoor air can be four to five times more polluted than outdoor air? Since we spend about 90% of our time indoors, it’s crucial to pay attention to the quality of the air we breathe at home.

Common Indoor Pollutants

Indoor air is often filled with allergens like pollen, animal dander, dust mites, cockroaches, and mold. Irritants such as smoke, chemical odors, and dust, along with biological pollutants like viruses and bacteria, can lead to headaches, stuffy noses, tickly throats, nagging coughs, wheezing, shortness of breath, and itchy eyes.

Improving Air Quality

According to John Spengler, Ph.D., from the Harvard School of Public Health, various steps can be taken to improve indoor air quality:

1. Prevent Mold Growth

Mold can be a significant issue. If you notice a musty smell or mold spots, take action immediately. Fix any leaks, use a mold-proof shower curtain, and ensure surfaces like shower walls are dry after use.

2. Install an Air Cleaning System

Whole-house air cleaners, such as Trane CleanEffects, are highly effective. They can remove up to 99.98% of particles as small as .3 microns, which is far more effective than standard filters.

3. Reduce Dust Mites

Dust is a common carrier of allergens. To minimize dust mites, wash bedding weekly in hot water and use allergen-proof bed coverings. Opt for washable throw rugs and curtains instead of wall-to-wall carpeting.

4. Limit Upholstered Furniture

Upholstered furniture can harbor dust mites and pet dander. Clean underneath cushions and behind furniture regularly.

5. Control Humidity Levels

Maintaining proper humidity levels (below 50%) can discourage mold growth and minimize dust mites. Consider using a central system with a variable-speed blower motor and a humidity-sensor thermostat.

Conclusion

Taking these steps can significantly enhance the air quality in your home, reducing health risks and promoting a healthier environment for you and your loved ones.
