Well Ventilated:
To keep your home healthy it is important to keep it well ventilated. Increasing the supply of fresh air in a home can improve respiratory health and help manage allergies and asthma. A well ventilated home is at lower risk for negative health outcomes from pollution and air contaminants.
Steps to keep your home Well Ventilated:
Make sure bathrooms and kitchens are ventilated. There should either be a working window or exhaust fan in each kitchen and bathroom within the home.
Open windows for 15 minutes each day to allow for your home to be ventilated regularly.
When using glue, paint or other harmful chemicals work outside of the home or use extra ventilators
Open interior doors. This allows air to flow more freely through the home
Do not smoke inside the home, this increases air pollutants and makes it more difficult to properly ventilate a home
Regularly replace your furnace filter. To maintain good indoor air quality furnace filters should be changed every 3 months.
