Where better to fight indoor air pollution than at home?

The American Lung Association suggests how:

• Don’t let anyone smoke in your home.
• Test your home for radon.
• Keep humidity levels under 50 percent and use a dehumidifier or air conditioner as needed. Clean this equipment regularly.
• Fix any leaks in the home that could contribute to mold growth.
• Put away food, cover trash and use bait to control pests.
• Avoid burning wood, which adds to indoor pollution.
• Don’t use scented candles or fragrances to hide odors. Determine the source of an odor and clean it.
• Use less toxic cleaning, household and hobby products.
