Indoor air pollutants can affect your health. From dust to chemicals, pollutants lurk in your indoor spaces. Keep an eye out for these common pollutants:

🔸 Dust mites
🔸 Mold spores
🔸 Chemicals from cleaning products
🔸 Pet dander
🔸 Carbon monoxide (CO)

Combat these by cleaning often, using air filters, and maintaining proper humidity levels.

Did you Know – Radon is a radioactive gas that causes cancer. You can't see, taste, or smell it. Any home, school, office, or other building can have high radon levels. Studies show that nearly 1 out of 15 homes in Canada have unsafe levels of radon. Health Canada recommends that all homes be tested for radon levels. You can hire a qualified tester to do the test or use a do-it-yourself test kit.

Tips for Cleaner Indoor Air!

Did you know we spend about 90% of our time indoors? The quality of the air inside our homes, schools, and workplaces matters just as much as the air outside. Here are five simple ways to boost the air quality inside your home or office:

1️⃣ Ventilate when outdoor air is clean.

2️⃣ Use HEPA or DIY air purifier to reduce pollutants.

3️⃣ Avoid unnecessary burning (candles, incense, smoking).

4️⃣ Keep humidity below 50% in summer and 30-35% in winter to prevent mould growth (Source: Health Canada).

5️⃣ Reduce use of harsh chemicals.

Did you Know – Air pollution can lead to several health issues, including respiratory problems, allergies and more. The vulnerable, such as children, the elderly, and those with health issues, are more susceptible. Here’s an easy AQHI chart that shows risk levels and how you can adjust your activities accordingly:

Did you know? You can build a simple DIY air purifier with just a box fan, a high-efficiency furnace filter, and some tape! These affordable devices, often called Corsi-Rosenthal Boxes, help reduce indoor air pollution from wildfire smoke, dust, and allergens—keeping the air in your home cleaner and healthier.

🏠🌬️ Outdoor air pollution can make its way indoors. Think being inside always means you’re protected from outdoor air pollution? Not necessarily. Smoke, dust, vehicle emissions and other pollutants from outside can enter our homes and buildings through open windows, doors, ventilation systems and small gaps.

When outdoor air quality is poor:

✔️ Check the AQHI before opening windows or spending time outdoors
✔️ Keep windows and doors closed when appropriate
✔️ Use ventilation and filtration systems properly
✔️ Consider using a portable air cleaner to help reduce indoor particles
✔️ Reduce indoor sources of pollution, such as smoking, candles and wood burning.

🌿 Cleaner outdoor air helps create cleaner indoor air, too.
