According to the EPA, the average American spends nearly 90% of their time indoors. Certain pollutants are present with 2 to 5 times higher concentrations inside than normal outdoor conditions.
In some cases, indoor air pollutants can be responsible for eye and nose irritation, or even repository conditions. However, there are ways to improve indoor air quality. Firstly, ensure your heating and air conditioning are properly maintained. Filters should be replaced within the recommended timeframe as they can collect dust and other debris.
Another thing to note is that your air ducts for A/C units can also be contaminated with dust and mold. This is why regular HVAC maintenance will promote healthier air quality.
