Commercial Air Quality

6/6/2022 (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, 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?
