Ways to Improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

You Can Control Sources of Air Pollution

• Watch for water leaks, which can lead to mold or mildew
• Don't smoke indoors or outside near doors and windows
• Keep your environment tidy and dust free
• Use alternative cleaning supplies instead of harsh chemicals
• Avoid use of strong perfumes and deodorizers
• If using an air purifier, clean filters frequently and make sure the purifier does not produce ozone

Improve Air Flow

• Open windows and doors; most heating and cooling systems do not bring fresh air in
• Use fans that vent air outside, especially while engaging in hobbies or activities that generate pollutants or moisture, e.g. painting, woodworking, cooking, showering.
