As the weather starts to cool down, we begin to spend more time indoors. This is the time of year when we close up our homes to keep the warm air in and the cold air out. But what we may not realize is that by doing this, we are also trapping pollutants inside.
These pollutants can come from many sources, including cooking, cleaning, smoking, and even just moving around your home. All of these activities release small particles into the air, and over time, these particles can build up and cause health problems.
That’s why it’s important to make sure your home is properly ventilated. By allowing fresh air to circulate, you can get rid of pollutants and improve your indoor air quality.
There are a few different ways you can ventilate your home. One is to open your windows on a regular basis, even when it’s cold outside. You can also install a mechanical ventilation system, such as an exhaust fan, to help move air through your home.
Whatever method you choose, it’s important to make sure your home is getting the fresh air it needs to stay healthy and pollution-free.
