Not Too Late Part 1

Wandering in your moccasins from room to room in your house or cabin and darn there's that headache again. No, it is not the cooking but something else and it is affecting your health. You are sneezing and at times congested. The problem may be the quality of the air you are breathing. Most people are quite aware that outside air pollution can significantly affect your health, however, EPA studies have shown that levels of air pollution indoors maybe 100 times greater.

Indoor air pollution can be a concern because people can spend as much as 90% of their time indoors, and much of that time is in their homes. You can have an immediate or long - term reaction to poor indoor air quality.

One way to determine whether you have an indoor air quality problem is to look at how you or those in your household feel when at home.
1. Do you or others sneeze and cough in your home?
2. Do you or others in your home wake up congested or with a headache?
3. Do you or others in your home often have an irritated throat, nose or eyes?
4. Does anyone in your home have frequent asthma episodes or respiratory infections?
5. Do you notice that you feel better when you are away from home?

If you answered yes to any of the above, you may have an indoor air quality concern.

Next time we will look at possible causes of poor indoor air quality.
