Don’t Let Indoor Air Make You Sick This Winter

Everyone spends a lot more time indoors in the winter than the rest of the year which means increased exposure to poor indoor air quality. It is a well known fact that the air inside our homes can be up to 5 times more polluted than the air outside. Having said that, winter means we are typically exposed to two to five times more pollution than other times during the year. This is due to such factors as keeping our homes as sealed up as possible, burning fires in our fireplaces, our pets spending more time inside and yucky cold and flu germs, so prevalent this time of year, being brought inside most often by school-age children.Even if you keep your home as immaculate as possible, the air inside is teeming with tons of airborne particulants. These pollutants get into you airways and respiratory making you feel sick. If you are someone who suffers from allergies or asthma, indoor air pollution can be an even more serious issue. So what kinds of pollutants are floating around in your home?
*Pet dander
