Air pollution continues to be problematic regarding personal health, yet many are unaware of how air quality affects you and your family. Pollutants in the air can negatively impact your respiratory system and heart, all because you may not have solid air quality measures. Below are three tips to improve your home’s air quality and keep everyone safe.
1. Install an Air Purifier
Air purifiers are designed to filter out dangerous pollutants in the air while still providing your home with the air it needs. While these aren’t able to altogether remove all pollutants, they can at least reduce smoke, allergens, spores, and other things that can degrade air quality.
2. Use UV Lights
It may seem unusual to rely on lights to improve air quality, but the truth is that these can be effective in reducing mold growth. Because these lights kill mold, you can install these in your air ducts, preventing the mold from affecting your air quality. Mold is incredibly dangerous to breathe and typically grows in dark areas, so consider purchasing UV lights to remedy this issue.
3. Cut Back on Products Containing Pollutants
Some cleaning products contain pollutants that can linger in the air after being opened, or you may have a family member who smokes frequently. By reducing the pollutants you put into the air, everyone can stay healthier and reduce their risk of developing medical problems. Try using cleaning solutions that don’t contain pollutants, quit smoking if possible, and check your furniture for any compounds that may be affecting your air quality.
