Ventilation

Air in the home today can actually be more polluted than outdoor air due to contaminants trapped in the home, such as chemicals from incomplete combustion, off-gassing from pressed wood and building materials, cleaning agents and air 'de-odorizers', radon, CO, and CO2. Tighter building practices lead to a build-up of these pollutants in the home. Ventilation is the answer for improving air quality in homes today.

Questions to ask the Homeowner

Do cooking or other odors tend to linger in your home? If odors linger in the home, or the air feels stale, it may be a sign that the home isn't getting as much fresh air as it needs.

Does the air in your home feel 'stuffy'? Exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens just aren't enough to keep air fresh at home. The accumulation of formaldehyde from building materials and gaseous pollutants from household products is another source of concern.
