How can you Improve the Air Quality at Home?

• Breathing in the polluted air can impact your
  health and well-being. It can affect your
  respiratory health and may cause irreversible
  harm to your lungs. This is why you must be
  careful about the air you inhale. Whether you are
  outdoors or indoors, the quality of air is
  crucial. 
• According to experts, the indoor air can be 100
  times more polluted than the outside air. As far
  as the health effects are concerned, breathing in
  polluted air can result in pneumonia, heart
  problems, asthma, and allergic reactions. 
• Thus, here are a few steps you can take to
  improve the air quality and prevent these
  respiratory problems. Lets have a look!

• Get rid of pollutants
• To improve the quality of indoor air, one way is
  to identify the common sources of pollutants and
  eliminate them. These include radon, a natural
  radioactive gas secondhand smoke exhaled from
  cigarettes, formaldehyde, a volatile organic
  compound, and harmful chemicals from gas cleaners
  or air fresheners. To ensure you breathe clean
  air, you should be careful to minimise the levels
  of these pollutants.
• 2. Control allergens
• Typically, the indoor space is full of allergens
  and irritants, like dust, mould, dust mites, and
  pet dander. Eliminating these allergens can
  improve the overall quality of air in your home
  and reduce the chances of experiencing
  respiratory problems like runny nose, skin
  rashes, itching, sore throat, and sneezing.

• 3. Install air purifiers
• If your indoor air is polluted and unclean, one
  effective way to get rid of the pollutants is to
  use an air purifier. By removing harmful
  particles, they allow you to breathe in clean and
  purified air. By installing an air purifier at
  home, you can reduce VOC, smoke, allergens like
  pet dander, mould spores, and excess carbon
  dioxide.
• 4. Improve ventilation
• Keeping the air flowing at home is a simple way
  to improve air quality. You can make this happen
  by opening doors and windows so outside air can
  flow in. Besides, vents and tiny spaces in the
  doorframe can also let in fresh air. To ensure
  that dust does not enter through the vents, you
  should regularly clean the air ducts and change
  filters at home.

• 5. Install Air conditioning
• Presently, many air conditions come with an air
  purifier to take care of the indoor air. One such
  AC is LG 4-way cassette AC. It has a five-step
  air purification system that helps remove odours,
  germs, and fine dust. You can clean this filter
  with water for semi-permanent usage. 
• 6. Use indoor plants
• Another way to clean the indoor air is to use
  house plants. They help reduce specific indoor
  air pollutants, including VOCs and fine
  particles. However, when planting, you must
  remember that all plants are not equal when it
  comes to removing pollutants. Some plants like
  Hedera helix, Dracaena, and Spathiphyllum are a
  better choice.
• Many factors like allergens, ventilation,
  pollutants, and pets can affect the air quality
  at your home. You must try to get rid of these
  sources to breathe in fresh air.
