Improve your home's air quality (StatePoint) As the weather cools, many homeowners take measures to seal leaky windows and doors in order to conserve energy and guard against environmental pollutants. But according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, and contains everything from smog and allergens to mold spores and viruses.

hands frequently and to cough or sneeze into the nook of your elbow to help reduce the spread of these germs. • Allergens: Regardless of the time of year, dust, pollen and other allergens are ever present in the air we breathe, often sticking

at work, or by your favorite reading chair. This new approach to air purification can be far more efficient and effective than traditional room air purifiers, and even less costly. For more information about improving indoor air quality or to learn about Human-

“While it might sound simple to get some ‘fresh air,’ the reality is that it’s virtually nonexistent in our homes and workplaces,” says Chris Gibson, Director of Air Quality Products for Humanscale. “Most of us assume that the indoor air we breathe is clean, but the truth is we’re simply not aware of the pollutants in our air and the associated threats to our health.” And in fact, the EPA estimates that most people spend upwards of 80 percent of their time indoors -- either at home or at work. Oftentimes people get headaches or sinus issues and attribute these symptoms to things such as stress or a change in the weather, when it actually may be the result of what they are breathing in. Here are several air quality hazards to keep in mind, along with some easy remedies: • Cleaning Supplies: Harsh chemicals and toxins can be found in most household cleaners. So read the labels before you start scrubbing away. All-natural cleaning supplies or ones meant for home use (not industrial use) are best. Stronger chemicals, such as paints, solvents and industrialstrength cleaning supplies, should be stored in a garage or shed. • Germs: Between your co-worker sneezing and bacteria lingering on a commonly used item, germs during cold and flu season are just waiting to be caught. Be sure to wash

to our clothes and furniture. Air purifiers can help alleviate the symptoms caused by allergies. Consider using a targeted air purifier that delivers clean air right where you breathe -at the head of your bed, near your computer

Tips for a healthier bathroom (StatePoint) While most people can tolerate some clutter and dust in their home, a grungy bathroom is another story. Ironically, the room devoted to personal cleanliness is often rife with bacteria, mold and mildew -- even if it looks spotless. Bacteria and mold not only affect the air you breathe, but the structural integrity of your home, say experts. There are several things you can do yourself, as well as efficient home upgrades, to make your bathroom healthier. • Clean your shower. Not just once a week, but daily. Use a squeegee to wipe down walls, or spray an eco-friendly white vinegar solution after each use. If

you use a shower curtain, wash or change it regularly (depending on how "hard" your water is, but usually every one to three months). Cooler, drier air will also reduce mildew in grout between tiles. • Unclog showerheads. If a showerhead becomes clogged with mineral deposits, fill a plastic bag with undiluted white vinegar and place it over the head and seal tie it off with a rubber band. Soak overnight and then scrub it with a toothbrush. • Circulate clean air. That musty smell is a sign your bathroom isn’t properly ventilated and is ripe with mildew and other airborne mold spores. To control it, try a ventilation fan with a motion and humidi-

ty sensor, such as Panasonic's WhisperSense, which turns on when someone enters the bathroom and automatically shuts off 20 minutes later. When you shower, a humidity sensor overrides the timer and continues extracting moisture until the humidity is back to a pre-set level. This will help eliminate that musty smell and prevent excess moisture from ruining expensive fixtures and cabinetry. • Keep toothbrushes apart. Germs can spread from person to person when the heads of toothbrushes touch. Also, make sure you put down the lid whenever you flush the toilet. Bacteria-filled mist can travel several feet, landing on porous surfaces like toothbrush bristles. • Don't let paint blister. Paint blisters are caused by moisture that helps mold grow. A typical shower adds half a pint of water to the air. Scrape and re-paint blisters. To avoid future growth, replace moist air with dry air by ventilating properly. “The most important thing you can do to keep mold, bacteria and mildew out of your bathroom, is to properly ventilate it," says Anita So, an executive with the Panasonic Home & Environment Company. “Indoor pollutants are virtually impossible to eliminate completely by just opening a window, creating the need for a second step to improve air quality. A vent fan can remove stale, moist, polluted air and replace it with fresh air.” It’s important to make sure bathroom ventilation systems are properly installed. Detailed information is available online, on such websites as www.panasonic.com/ventfans. By practicing safe bathroom practices, you'll breathe cleaner air and prevent structural problems that can decrease the value of your home.
