(NC) Clean air is essential for good health. As Canadians, we spend close to 90 per cent of our time inside, so the quality of our indoor air is particularly important. If you're cleaning or tackling a home improvement project, you may be using products that contain chemicals that can be released into the air, such as cleaning products, paints and varnishes or glue.
Good ventilation is very important whenever you are using products containing chemical substances, especially if they are labelled with warning symbols.
Tips for safe and effective cleaning:
Remember to bring in fresh air whenever possible. This will help reduce pollutants that can accumulate to levels that might pose health and comfort problems.
Clean regularly to eliminate dust and dirt. Breathing in dust can create breathing problems or worsen an existing respiratory condition.
Use kitchen and bathroom fans vented outside to help remove pollutants directly from the rooms where they are created.
Consider installing an air exchange unit. Remember to change the filters regularly, as recommended by the manufacturer.
To keep homes safe and healthy for ourselves, families and visitors, it's important to try to identify and reduce hazards from the indoor air we breathe.
