Air Quality - Some Things to Consider

cgrzeslo



Did you know?


There are things to consider with both outdoor and indoor air when it comes to your lung health.





Outdoor Air: if there is a smog or air quality advisory, try to:

* stay away from areas with automobile traffic

* stay indoors with air conditioning; in the community, libraries, community centers, shopping malls, etc. are good places to go if you don't have access to air conditioned spaces.

* reduce strenuous activities, especially outside

* check local health forecasts for AQHI




Indoor Air: there are a number of things to consider inside your home that can affect your breathing

* Gas appliances can release dangerous gases; be sure to use a good fan vented outside when in use

* Damp areas provide a place for mold to grow. Check window sills, unfinished basements, bathrooms, house plant soil for signs of mold

* Many household cleaners contain toxic chemicals. Try to choose environmentally friendly products.

* Air fresheners, perfumes, ,hair sprays, etc. release a variety of harmful chemicals

* Make sure bathroom exhaust fans are kept clean and working well to vent moisture outside.
