Research shows Americans spend 90% of their time indoors.
According to the EPA, indoor pollutants can even reach levels up to 100 times higher than in the air outside.
3.2 million deaths a year are due to poor indoor air quality. (research linked here)
That’s disturbing.
But it makes sense!
Your immune system is working hard to counter the microbes it’s exposed to daily.
Being in a home with multiple microbes in the air makes it work harder.
So what makes up your home’s air quality?
- air coming in
- flow of air though your home & how well your home breathes
- filtration in the home
- location of your heating and cooling system
- pets
- smoking/hobbies
- cleanliness
- wearing shoes in the home
- your neighbor’s habits (yes they come in your home!)
- where you live & industry near by
- scents you wear, burn, spray or use
- cleaning supplies
How do you know if you have an air quality problem?
Not all individuals who live in a home with poor air quality will react the same.
Here’s a list of common symptoms:
- rashes, hives, skin conditions
- difficulty breathing
- asthma
- allergies
- fatigue
- swelling
- headaches
- mystery illnesses
- difficulty recovering from illness
- lowered immunity
- insomnia

When it comes to the air quality in your home you want to be thinking about the air flow.
- Where’s air coming in from and what’s around the intake areas?
- Is your home able to expel air effectively or is your air recirculating?
- Are you changing your air filters regularly – every month to 3 months?
- Do you clean regularly with damp cloths or non-toxic cleaners to minimize dust mites and other allergens?
- How humid is your home? – if it’s over 65 – it’s wise to get a de-humidifier and a gauge to track humidity.
Assessing your home for leaks, humidity issues as well as potential air flow issues is crucial to prevent build up of microbes and toxins in the home.
