Indoor Air Quality and Your Health

Many people spend the majority of their summer breathing in pollutants from air conditioning at work and at home. Repeated exposure to such pollutants like animal allergens and mold spores can put us at risk for significant health issues.

How to Create a Healthier Indoor Environment

• The best way to improve your indoor air quality is to remove sources of chemical emissions in your home. This includes many cleaning products, scented candles, and air fresheners, as well as certain types of cabinets, flooring, furniture, paint, etc.
• Here on Long Island, the summers can become extremely humid. Invest in a dehumidifier to lower the humidity levels in your home so you can breathe easier.
• On more mild days, open your windows to start a cross breeze. Circulating the air in your home like this is a great way to let the fresh air in and get the pollutants out.
• Your air ducts accumulate a large amount of dust throughout the year. Enlist the help of a professional to have them cleaned once a year to avoid circulating harmful materials through your home.
• Did you know that healthy houseplants not only balance the humidity in your home but they also naturally clean the air? Check out the infographic below to help you decide which plant is right for you.
