It\u2019s right that everyone takes steps to help protect the Earth, but, have you ever considered the effect of this pollution on your own health?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you know that indoor air pollution can cause a number of illnesses? It\u2019s time to consider what you\u2019re dealing with and how to protect your home from indoor air pollution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Indoor air pollution comes from open fires, kerosene stoves, and other chemicals in the home. In addition, atmospheric pollution is brought into your home through your windows, doors, and ventilation ducts. In short, there <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/fact-sheets\/detail\/household-air-pollution-and-health\">are 3 billion people in the world that still cook with solid fuels,<\/a> every one of them is increasing the level of pollution in your home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of pollution leads to the following illnesses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Pneumonia<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Stroke<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Heart disease<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Lung cancer<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time to protect your home and your family:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kravelv.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/tips-to-improve-your-indoor-air-quality.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8124\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Air Conditioning Units<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Air conditioning units don\u2019t just cool, (or heat), the air in your home and make you more comfortable. If you speak to a firm that knows what they are doing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conductairconditioning.com.au\/\">such as this air conditioning Sydney<\/a>, you\u2019ll get filters built into the system that purifies the air as it enters your home. It can even improve the air quality from indoor pollutants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><p>These units aren\u2019t as expensive as you think and they really can reduce the pollution in your home, improving your health in the process.<\/p>\n<h2>Radon<\/h2>\n<p>Radon is a gas that is invisible to the naked eye. It is in our surrounding, if it&#8217;s outdoors it can disperse faster. But, if it is indoors it is dangerous for your home because it can cause lung cancer. So if you want to test your home for radon gas you can do so by visiting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.radonmitigationspokane.com\/\">Radon Mitigation Spokane<\/a> if you&#8217;re near the area.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cigarette Smoke<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You already know that cigarette smoke, even secondhand, can cause an array of diseases, specifically lung cancer. But, your home can actually have third-hand cigarette smoke, this is when the residual from smoking sticks to soft furnishings and is then in direct contact with the family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cleaners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve probably got a bunch of chemical cleaners in your cupboard but do you know if any of these are harmful or not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a general rule, the harsher the chemical the more likely it will be to pollute your indoor atmosphere. The most common issues are watery eyes, irritated lungs, and itchy skin. Continued use of the chemicals will make the symptoms worse and even require a visit to your doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not just cleaners that can give you an issue! Candles, especially scented ones, or essential oils can also pollute the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Craft supplies, particularly glues are irritants and even the fumes from dry-cleaned items can e carcinogenic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ventilation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve already mentioned the power of an air conditioning unit to remove pollutants. But, these systems can also improve the ventilation in your home. A good flow of air is essential to prevent the buildup of radon gas or carbon monoxide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Building Materials<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, you should consider the materials that your home is made from. Asbestos, lead, and even formaldehyde have all been linked with illnesses but was, until relatively recently, used in building construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still have these materials present you\u2019ll need to consider replacing them. But, you must act with caution when handling them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pollution is a hot topic, especially as the Earth is struggling with the effects of human pollution.
