Air Quality

8/23/2018 (Permalink)

Here are some things to consider from the American Lung Association about air quality in your home:

·         Is anyone smoking indoors? No one should smoke indoors.

·         Can you see or smell mold or mildew? 

·         Is the humidity regularly above 50 percent?

·         Are there leaks or standing water anywhere—kitchen, basement, attic?

·         Are all fuel-burning appliances (gas stoves, water heaters, fireplaces) fully vented to the outdoors?

·         Is there an attached garage or basement where cars, lawnmowers, or motorcycles are stored?

·         Are household chemicals, paints, or solvents stored indoors or in an attached garage or basement?

·         Have you recently remodeled or added new furniture or carpeting, or painted?

·         Do you use odor-masking chemicals or "air-freshening" devices?

·         Has kitchen or food garbage been covered and removed?

·         Have you used pesticides recently?
