Is My Home Healthy and Safe? Indoor Air Pollution a bigger
hazard than outdoors.
Just when you thought you were safe from the common health
hazards, often found in older homes, such as lead-based paints
and asbestos-containing materials, brace yourself for a whole
new set of problems related to new construction.
New homes are built so tightly, with thermopane windows and
tons of insulation materials, not enough fresh air or air
circulation causes gases to build up in the air, that are
released from a variety of materials.
So whether you live in a brand new home or in an older home
here in America, you might not be as safe as you think, your
home might be making you sick!
Note: Instead of putting bandaids on the indoor air
pollution in your home with air purifiers and filters, it's
better to remove the causes!
Some common causes of an unhealthy and unsafe home environment.
- Building materials, asbestos
