Consider
plants Plants are basically nature’s air purifiers. They help take carbon dioxide and other gases and convert them into healthy oxygen. Adding a few plants to your home can make it healthier and more visually pleasing!
Think about materials If you’re getting ready to remodel or thinking about it, consider choosing materials that are less toxic and have lower amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Select carpets that have
a low emission level. Options like tile, bamboo, and some hardwoods are low in VOCs, while vinyl floors have higher levels. Paints are also available in low-VOC or VOC-free options. Many other building materials can put off gas toxins. A professional remodeler will be able to give you the best information for your home and help you find the healthiest options to keep your home’s indoor air safe and healthy.
Open up! Whenever possible, open up the windows or screen doors and let some fresh air in!
