There are some ways to help protect yourself besides the advice suggested above. Keep reading for some of the best ways you can reduce indoor air pollution.
- Houseplants – Plants do a terrific job of naturally cleaning the air in your home. Plants can remove toxins, and look pretty while they’re at it. Some plants work harder than others. Some of the best choices are peace lilies, Boston ferns, and spider plants. Check our article about the best houseplants you can buy to clean the air naturally.
- Use a More Sophisticated Furnace Filters – Those $3 furnace filters you are buying at the local discount store might keep the dust out, but that’s about it. Large particles such as dust, hair, and lint rarely cause breathing problems for people; it’s the smaller particles that tend to kick up your allergies and asthma. Sometimes you get what you pay for, and with a furnace filter, this is the case. The more expensive the filter, the better it can pull particles out of the air. Buy the most expensive filter you can afford.
- Have Your Vents Cleaned – Especially if your house is more than 10 years old and the vents have never been cleaned. Take off the registers and look inside the vents- chances are good you will see a lot of dust sticking to the sides. Professional cleaning services are not that expensive to have all your air vents and registers cleaned and sanitized.
- An Electronic Air Cleaner- These can clean as much as 30 times the amount of dust as an ordinary furnace filter, but they cost much more and contribute to your EMF load. With some electronic air cleaners costing as much as $500, house plants suddenly seem like a much better alternative.
