Clear The Air

HERE’S SOME TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR INDOOR AIR QUALITY-
-If you have an air filter, keep it clean so that it removes the most air pollutants possible
-Carpets are commonly made with synthetic materials that off-gas toxic chemicals. These materials also make carpet hard to recycle (and therefore, most just go straight to the landfill). Carpets also can be home to pests and mildew.
-Look for pieces of furniture that are not coated in harmful, off-gassing chemicals.
-Buy a friendly plant. Some of the best plants for removing air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene include the peace lily, bamboo palm, English ivy, mums, and gerbera daisies.
