A new year comes with new resolutions and new goals for many. So, why not include breathing in good quality air to your goals this year? What we breathe makes a great impact on our health. We usually think of air pollution as something that is on the outside. Smog, Ozone depletion, or haze in the air aren\u2019t the only forms of air pollution. Your indoor air quality is something that also affects your health.<\/span><\/p>\n The disturbing reality is that the air inside our homes can be much more polluted than the air outside. Our homes are likely to be polluted by lead, formaldehyde, fire-retardants, radon, and volatile chemicals from fragrances used in cleaners. Some pollutants are tracked inside, while others come through new furniture, carpet cleaners, or wall paints. <\/span>The mixture of these might even include microscopic dust mites, mold, and pet dander. FYI \u2013 you don\u2019t have to be a pet owner to have pet dander in your house. You simply can\u2019t get away from it because people with pets have already set it out in the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n Children, asthmatic people, and the elderly are more sensitive to the indoor pollutants. But, with time and repeated exposure, anyone can be affected.<\/span><\/p>\n Why give importance to the indoor air quality now?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Indoor allergens and irritants have become a popular concern as we\u2019re spending more and more time indoors. Also, modern homes are airtight, making it nearly impossible for these irritants to escape. Compared to four decades ago, we\u2019re at greater risk from the exposure.<\/span><\/p>\n What should you be doing to improve your Indoor Air Quality?<\/i><\/b><\/p>\nThe Truth<\/strong><\/h4>\n
