Indoor Air Pollution Facts: What is Indoor Air Pollution and How to Reduce it How is the Air Quality in your Home?

Indoor air pollution facts, what is indoor air pollution we ask? We typically don’t think our homes have air quality problems, as we cannot see it for the most part. It isn’t like we have billowing plumes of smoke coming out of our vents or floorboards, at least not in the sense like those which we see outdoors and are easily identifiable. This is why it is difficult to realize we may have a problem and what to do about it. Once we know the sources of our problems, then we can take steps to correct or minimize those problems and find solutions to clean the air, possibly with air cleaners, so to speak and make our homes into healthier environments for us and our families and loved ones.

Indoor air pollution has been described by the EPA and Congress as America’s number one environmental health problem and indoor air pollution can be four to five times worse than outdoor air and even greater. The Department of Consumer Affairs states that children and the elderly are the ones most affected by polluted indoor air.

We spend about 90% of our time indoors and all this gets breathed into us and our children. Air pollutants can and do cause allergies, sick building syndrome, bacterial infections and spread viruses to name a few. The American College of Allergists state that 50% of all illnesses are caused by polluted indoor air. They state that 10 to 12 million people in the US suffer from asthma and that asthma is the single largest cause of hospital visits by children.

Clean Soap Scum Naturally

Man cleaning shower

You can clean soap scum naturally, which also means safely. By naturally, we mean using natural ingredients such as vinegar or baking soda, not some harsh toxic chemical mixtures you buy at the store which work fine, but are not so good for your health or the environment.

It is never good to let soap scum build up to a point where it is thick and ugly. It consists of more than just dried soap as well, and includes a sedimentary mass of soap, dirt, body oil, dead skin, mildew, dust and hard water deposits. It can truly become a major task to clean if you let it build up over time, so it is best practice to do a regular cleaning of your bathroom! Continue Reading Clean Soap Scum Naturally Here
