Indoor Air Pollution

We've all used the expression, " I need some fresh air ". Even though we know about all the environmental hazzards, where do we go for this fresh air?

Outside.

What's wrong with the inside air? According to the Environmental Protection Agency, indoor air can be two to five times more polluted then outdoor air. Since most of us spend 90% of our time indoors, here are a few things you can do to improve the inside air.

* Keep things out of your home that cause air pollution, such as chemicals, cigarette smoke, and excess moisture.

* Ventilate your home. Run the exhaust fans in the kitchen and bathrooms.

* Fresh Air! Open the windows whenever possible.

These small things can help keep you and your family healthy and happy.

Happy breathing!
