Make sure your home is safe & healthy with smart indoor air improvements

Is your house harming your health? Because the average American spends about 90% of his or her time indoors, indoor air quality (IAQ) is a very important issue. In fact, there’s even a name for the various illnesses associated with indoor air pollution: Sick Building Syndrome. Respiratory ailments, allergy symptoms, eye irritation and frequent colds are some of the most common illnesses caused by indoor air pollution.

Because there are many sources of indoor air pollution (see “Common sources”), your healthy home strategy needs to involve awareness and improvements in different areas.

How to ensure healthy indoor air

Start with the simple stuff

Make sure to enforce a no-smoking policy throughout the house. Also encourage family members and guests to use bathroom fans and the vent hood above the kitchen stove – basic ventilation equipment that rids your home of odors, excess humidity and (if you have a gas stove) combustion byproducts.

Another basic method for improving IAQ is to change the air filter on the main plenum of a forced-air HVAC system.  

Be a smart shopper

Avoid cleaning products that contain strong bleach and harmful solvents. Today you can find a good variety of “green” cleaning products at most supermarkets. Make sure to buy furniture and home furnishings that don’t contain formaldehyde and other harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds). These pollutants cause problems as they outgas from fabrics and furniture.

Test for dangerous pollutants

If your house was built before 1978, it may contain lead paint that becomes hazardous when paint flakes are ingested (by children) or when lead dust is inhaled. Do-it-yourself tests for lead paint are available online and at home centers. If your house tests positive, your local health department and the EPA website are good sources of information about protective strategies.

It’s also important to test your house for radioactive radon gas, which is emitted from rocks and soil. If a radon test shows levels above 4 picocuries per liter of indoor air, contact a local radon mitigation contractor. Radon levels can be kept permanently low with a basic radon abatement system.

Manage moisture to prevent mold & mite problems

If you can smell mold or see telltale blotchy deposits in damp areas of your home, it means you’re inhaling microscopic mold spores that can cause numerous health problems. Eliminating unwanted moisture is the best way to control mold. Make sure that bathroom fans operate properly and are ducted to the outdoors rather than into the attic. Correct plumbing leaks and keep water out of basements and crawl spaces with an effective waterproofing system. If necessary, run a dehumidifier in basement and crawl space areas to keep humidity below 60%. These moisture control strategies will also discourage dust mites whose feces and debris also contribute to indoor air pollution.
