1) Buy an air purifier today. Each system is specially designed to satisfy a specific air quality need. See our products today.

2) Make your home a smoke-free environment. Secondhand smoke can cause serious health problems, especially for children.

3) Good ventilation reduces indoor air pollution. Leave doors between rooms open most of the time for better air circulation. Open windows when possible to allow for a good supply of outdoor air. Install exhaust fans in bathrooms to remove moisture and chemicals from the house. If outdoor air polution is a problem or if allergins are especially high, close up the house and turn on your IQAir Air Purifier to reduce the particulates in the air.

4) Keep humidity levels low with a dehumidifier or air conditioner, as needed. Clean both regularly so they don't become a source of pollutants themselves. Fix all leaks and drips in the home, as standing water and high humidity encourages the growth of mold and other biological pollutants. Install a humidistat to ensure the humidity doesn't go above 50%.

5) Prevent carbon monoxide and radon poisoning by having all fuel burning appliances inspected by a qualified technician at least once a year. Install a carbon monoxide detector near your sleeping rooms. Test your home for radon. Use a radon test kit labeled Meets EPA requirements.

6) Clean often. Cleaning helps keep dust mites and other allergens to a minimum. Wash bedding materials in hot water (at least 130°). Use allergy-free bedding whenever possible. Consider replacing carpet with area rugs that can be taken up and washed often. Be sure to sweep or vacuum the floor thoroughly at least several times each week.

7) Remove gas fumes. Fit your gas range with a hood fan that exhausts the air outside. Use the fan or open a window when cooking to remove gas fumes.

8) Check commercial cleaning products and pesticides for toxic ingredients, and use according to manufacturers directions. Keep your home well ventilated when using these products. Consider switching to less toxic alternatives.

9) Use outdoor use items outdoors. Never leave a car or lawn mower running in an attached garage or shed. Avoid the use of unvented heaters and never use charcoal grills indoors.
