With more and more people aware of the health in their home and around the world they are looking for ways to be as healthy as possible. When you are out in public there is not much you can do to clean. That is why you have to do what you can to protect yourself. You can make sure you are wearing a mask if you are concerned about air borne illness. You also want to avoid touching your face while you are out and wash your hands when you get home. Although you cannot do much about the health outside your home you can do more to protect your home. You are likely washing your counters, surfaces, doorknobs and more. You also want to make sure that you have good quality air in the house as well. Air Supply Heating & Air Conditioning outlines what you might be doing that is causing pollution in your home.

Does Paint Cause Air Pollution?

One of the most common tasks that people take when they have some free time and want to do some home renovations is to paint the house. The walls in the house often can use a coat of paint and it is a job that many people can do on their own. The problem is that the paint you are using can be causing some pollution in the house. The odor that it emits can be problematic. That is why you want to make sure you clean up and remove the excess paint right away. You also want to make sure you open some doors and windows, weather permitting, to air the house out and help the drying process.

Effects of Aerosols in the Air

Another way you might be polluting the air in your house is the sprays that you are using. One of the types of sprays that you might be using are what is called aerosol. These are things such as air fresheners and hairspray. There are some cans that are compressed and the aerosol is used to press the air out in a continuous spray. You want to use sprays that are not aerosol so that they are not polluting the air in your house.

Are Candles Toxic?

You also want to make sure that you are avoiding using actual candles in your house if you are concerned about air quality. If you are using candles that have to be lit it can let smoke in the house and this will cause some level of pollution. You want to use candles that are flameless or that can be melted with other heat sources. The heat can come from a lightbulb that are more common. This will let you enjoy the aroma without the excess smoke from the flame.

Change Out Air Filters to Improve Air Quality

If you are not cleaning and changing the filters on a regular basis the pollutants can start to break free of the filter and get back in the house. That is why you want to make sure that you remove the old filters and replace them regularly.
