January 04th, 2019 The popular phrase “knowing is half the battle” can be applied to many situations, and it’s especially true when it comes to the quality of air inside your home. With the addition of dry, cold air, the winter can be one of the greatest enemies of indoor air quality. Not to worry, however, because Coan Oil is here to help you figure out what affects the air quality in your home, and how you can defend your home against household pollutants.
Sources of Pollutants in the Home
- Combustion sources, such as oil, gas, kerosene, coal, and wood. Any appliance that utilizes these should be properly maintained and vented to allow for safe operation
- Household cleaning products, such as air fresheners and bleach, as well as personal care products, can contribute to poor indoor air quality
- Home improvement related materials, such as paint, varnish, adhesives and anything that produces fumes can be a detriment to the air inside your home, and your family’s health
- Outdoor sources, including pesticides, pollen, and other pollutants can be tracked by people or pets into the home
- Animal dander is a common cause of allergy flare-ups and asthma attacks for sensitive individuals.
