Finding reliable health information online Many people get health information from the internet. But not every online source is reliable. How do you know whether you can trust the health information you find? There are many signs you can look for.

First, it’s important to find out if a website is from a trusted source. Health websites sponsored by the federal government are a good place to start. Their web addresses will be followed by “.gov.”

Well-known medical schools and large professional organizations can also be good sources of health information.

For other sites, it’s important to ask a few questions. Who sponsors the website and what are their goals? They may be trying to sell you a product rather than inform you. Find out who wrote and reviewed the information. Are they a medical professional? Be cautious about any website offering a quick fix or “miracle cure” for your health problem.

It’s also important to note when the information was written. Often there will be a date on the bottom of the web-

Keep inside air healthy Julie Cascio Health, Home and Family Development University of Alaska Fairbanks Cooperative Extension Service With current “social distancing” people spend more time at home. This often means work from home, attend school from home via the computer, spend time together at home to avoid others carrying the pan- Julie Cascio demic. With winter approaching, more exercise will be indoors.

These offer us positive time together and getting to know more about each other.

However, it can cause some challenges to the air inside the house.

With more time inside, indoor air quality is more important than ever for Alaska families. Health issues associated with breathing indoor air include asthma, flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), lung cancer and many

others. With this in mind, there are ways to monitor and improve indoor air quality that can benefit the house and the health of its occupants.

Increase ventilation With more people and more hours inside, the air in a home will require increased ventilation to bring fresh air into the home and exhaust stagnant air.

As we breathe, our lungs remove oxygen from the air around us and replace it with carbon dioxide. You may notice that an unventilated room might feel stuffy if it is crowded with people for an extended period of time. As we breathe stagnant, indoor air, carbon dioxide levels tend to rise, and this can lead to things like headaches and difficulty concentrating on schoolwork.

“It is good to have a mechanical ventilation system through the house. A heat recovery ventilation system (HRV) that is designed and installed for your home is one.

These systems allow an occupant to easily increase or decrease air changes in a home to account for changes in number of people

clean air present.” says Art Nash, Extension’s Alaska Healthy Homes Partnership 907-474-6366 alnashjr@alaska.edu

Use exhaust fans Activities such as cooking, showering and simply breathing can cause large amounts of moisture to build up inside the home. Often you will notice this in the form of condensed moisture or fog on your windows. Excessive moisture in a home can lead to drywall deterioration, mold growth and human health problems.

If you don’t have a complicated ventilation system in your home, don’t worry!

Running bathroom and range hood fans more often will help remove stagnant air from the home by allowing fresh air to enter.

Nash shares “When weather permits, opening a window can improve indoor air quality tremendously.”

Smoke Alarms and Carbon Monoxide Detectors While everyone is at home on extended stay, this is the time to improve your indoor air quality as much as possible. Make sure your smoke alarms are current and that a carbon monoxide detector is installed.

Clean the home Cleaning with soap and water, rinse, then dry does a really good job of getting rid of coronavirus as well as other disease causing bacteria. Dust and vacuum the house regularly, too.

These steps will help your home stay healthy, which will help us stay healthy.
