The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency hosts Air Quality Awareness Week every May to increase awareness about air quality and to prompt the public to integrate it into daily life. While May is still a few months away, taking steps toward cleaner air must be practiced all year long.

Improving indoor air quality is essential for maintaining good health and well-being, especially since people spend a significant amount of time indoors. Indoor air pollution can cause allergies, trigger asthma, and has been linked to cardiovascular problems.

To get cleaner air indoors, here are some tips from ServiceMaster Remediation Services.

Regularly Clean Your Home.

Dust, pet dander, mold, pollen, and other contaminants can accumulate in your home. The buildup of these pollutants degrades the quality of indoor air over time.
Vacuum carpets and floors, dust surfaces, and wash bedding and curtains frequently.
Cleaning tasks can require a lot of time and effort. If you need help, you can always hire a cleaning professional in Pompano Beach, FL.

Control the Source.

A cost-effective method of improving indoor air quality is identifying where these pollutants usually come from and sealing the entry point or making adjustments to minimize any emissions, such as in the case of gaseous pollutants.
Increasing the ventilation indoors also helps remove pollutants and circulate fresh air throughout the space, but this can result in high energy costs. Controlling the source is more cost-effective.
A cheap way of improving ventilation is by opening windows and doors.

Use Air Purifiers.

Air purifiers can help remove harmful pollutants, including dust, allergens, and smoke, from the air.
Look for a purifier with a HEPA filter, which can trap small particles like pollen and pet dander. Regularly change the filter to prevent recirculating dirty air indoors.

Control Humidity.

Humidity refers to the amount of water vapor in the air. High humidity levels can lead to mold growth and put your health at risk.
Use a dehumidifier in humid areas of your home, such as the bathroom and basement, and ensure that your home is properly ventilated.

Refrain From Using Harsh Chemicals.

Chemicals found in cleaning products, pesticides, and other household items can release harmful fumes into the air.
When cleaning your home or office, opt for natural, non-toxic, environmentally friendly products.
