According to a study, indoor air pollution can cause four times as many deaths as homicides. It’s usually the leading cause of death for low-income households.

Knowing how to reduce indoor air pollution in your home means your care for your family’s health. So let’s discuss a few ways to improve your house’s air quality and reduce indoor air pollution.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to Reduce Indoor Air Pollution<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Indoor air pollution can be as bad and even worse than it is outdoors. Direct exposure to indoor air pollution can seriously affect your health, so it’s vital to know how to reduce it to keep your family from harm. Below are five helpful pointers to prevent or reduce indoor air pollution in your home.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Give your pets a bath<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If there are pets in your home, regularly wash their bedding and bathe them to minimize allergy-causing dander. If you can, keep them away from your bed to avoid allergies.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Stay dry<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can keep the moisture down by using a dehumidifier to stop mold development. Don’t forget to clean the filter routinely to prevent producing pollutants. If the humidity in your home keeps increasing despite frequently using a dehumidifier, see if there are unresolved leakages or water damage in your home. If you find water damage, contact <\/span>Rochester property restoration<\/a><\/strong> specialists to prevent structural damage and mold growth.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Open your windows<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Sufficient and proper ventilation is essential to promoting healthy and clean indoor air. Opening the windows is the best way to improve ventilation and encourage a good exchange of indoor and outdoor air. Keeping your windows open during the day also helps regulate moisture in your house. Excess moisture encourages mold growth and can develop in 48 hours if there are damp spots in a home.<\/span><\/p>\n

If there are mold infestations in your house, don’t disregard them. Hire <\/span>mold removal companies<\/a><\/strong> quickly to address the circumstance.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Do not smoke in the house<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cigarette and vape smoke are common air pollutants. So the first step to making the indoor air healthier and cleaner is to stop smoking inside your home. According to professionals, second-hand smoke from tobacco contains more than 7,000 toxic chemicals that can cause serious health conditions and even drift easily through your home. If you have family members who smoke indoors, tell them to do it outside or encourage them to stop.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’re saving their lives by doing so, and you’re also protecting your family from exposure to second-hand smoke and minimizing your possibilities of home fires. Cigarette smoking is responsible for numerous home fires and deaths every year. So preventing indoor smoking can help save you the hassle of employing fire restoration specialists should your house suffer fire damage due to recklessness.

5. Use the cooking vents<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The kitchen is one of the major sources of indoor air contaminants in homes. Gas stoves release contaminants like nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide. Electric burners produce the same pollutants at lower levels, including other hazardous particles easily absorbed into the bloodstream. To help filter the air when cooking, always turn on your kitchen vents and open the windows.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
