Being aware of the importance of good indoor air quality and controlling some of the elements that pollute indoor air can help in reducing the risk of indoor air-related health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Controlling the quality of indoor air is very important given that some of the health risks associated with poor indoor air quality may take even years to be detected. Therefore, understanding and controlling the quality of the air that you breathe can help you prevent the short- and long-term problems that are associated with poor indoor air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ironically, according to the&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.epa.gov\/report-environment\/indoor-air-quality#importance\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Environmental Protection Agency<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;of the United States, six out of every 10 buildings and homes have poor indoor air quality and therefore expose their occupants to the risks associated with airborne pollutants. Thus, much more needs to be done to improve the quality of indoor air in homes and other buildings. Below are five tips that can help you improve your home\u2019s indoor air quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Ensure That The Building Has Good Natural Ventilation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Passive_ventilation\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Natural ventilation<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;includes windows, doors and various types of vents such as door vents, window vents, and ridge vents among others. These openings facilitate air circulation, ensuring that the indoor environment has fresh air and just the right amount of humidity at all times. Thus, it is important to have an adequate number of windows and doors as well as numerous vents on your building to guarantee good natural ventilation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/peppersheatingandair.com\/ac-installation.aspx\">Install Reliable AC Equipment<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Air conditioning equipment such as fans and dehumidifiers and are a good investment to help you improve air circulation and control the amount of moisture in the building at any given time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/peppersheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/americanstandard.png\" alt=\"American Standard Equipement\" class=\"wp-image-120\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Keep your AC Equipment Clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply installing different kinds of AC equipment is not enough to help you have a good indoor air quality. To be effective, the devices need to be cleaned and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/peppersheatingandair.com\/hvac-maintenance-plans.aspx\">maintained regularly<\/a>&nbsp;to ensure that they do not gather dust and that they operate optimally at all times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/peppersheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/indoor-air-quality.png\" alt=\"Clean Filters\" class=\"wp-image-100\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Have House Plants To Help You Purify Your Indoor Air<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some house plants such as&nbsp;<em>Epipremnum aureum&nbsp;<\/em>have been proven to be effective in purifying indoor air by removing a number of air pollutants including formaldehyde, xylene, trichloroethylene, and benzene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/peppersheatingandair.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/ivy-1.jpg\" alt=\"plants for better air quality\" class=\"wp-image-170\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Choose Furniture And Items Such As Carpets Carefully And Keep Them Clean<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some furniture items and carpets release air pollutants long after they have been made. Hence, it is important to ask about the types of materials that the items are made of when buying. It is also critical to keep furniture and carpets clean to avoid the accumulation of dust and other airborne substances on these items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/peppersheatingandair.com\/indoor-air-quality.aspx\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Contact the professionals<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;at Peppers Heating and Air today!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"tel:770-483-1282\"><strong>(770) 483-1282<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>TAGS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/peppersheatingandair.com\/blog\/?tag=indoor-air-quality\">INDOOR AIR QUALITY<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/peppersheatingandair.com\/blog\/?tag=summer-hvac-maintenance\">SUMMER HVAC MAINTENANCE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indoor air quality&nbsp;denotes the quality of air within buildings and the surrounding structures, especially with respect to the health and wellbeing of the people who occupy these buildings.
