Follow on Google News | Improving Your Home's Indoor Air Quality This WinterAugust, 2007 - We spend about 90% of our time indoors in the winter months. indoor air quality is a growing concern. Sealing our homes to increase energy efficiency has resulted in less fresh air flow in the air we breathe.
By: Tal Lifschitz/ Homeservice Club • Change filters in the furnace and humidifier every month. • If your family is experiencing symptoms such as headaches, drowsiness, allergies, nose and throat irritations, investigate installing a whole-house mechanical ventilation system. • Have an electronic air cleaner installed to trap minute airborne particles or install a High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filtration unit which not only traps airborne contaminants, but purifies the air as well.. • Have the carpeting in your home professionally cleaned at least once a year with a hot water extraction method that will reach deep into the fibres and extract contaminants. • When purchasing new carpet, look for the Canadian Carpet Institute's Indoor Air Quality label. After installation, ventilate the area well to reduce the effects of off-gassing. • When renovating older homes that may have lead-based paints, vacuum, rather than sweep, the renovation dust and follow with a damp-mop to remove remaining particles.
