It could be that you are suffering from pollutants inside your own home. Asbestos, _ radon, lead and formaldehyde are high on the list of potential health hazards in the home. While these items should not be ignored, in fact there are other, lower profile contaminants that probably effect a much larger percentage of the population: dust and dust mites, animal dander; molds or fungi, pollen, and bacteria or viruses. These seemingly innocuous biological pollutants are found in virtually every home, though the health effects vary depending on the concentration of the substance and the individual; some people are more susceptible and have more severe reactions. What can the average homeowner do about these irritants? First, take an objective look at your house. Biological pollutants flourish in the right environment, so start with the basics, like thorough and regular cleaning. This will help reduce the nutrients needed to sustain some of these pollutants. Upholstered furniture, drapes and carpets should be cleaned periodically, and insects or rodents should be exterminated. If you have a forcedâ€"air heating system, don‘t forget to have the ducts cleaned periodically. Or, if your home is heated with hot water, clean between the fins of the radiators to avoid circulating dust along with the warm air. Optimal indoor air quality cannot be achieved through cleanliness alone. Try to maintain a relative humidity of about 35% to 50%, which is considered the best for health purposes. Low humidity contributes to respiratory infections. Furnace or room humidifiers will increase low moisture levels, but only use them when IS YOUR HOUSE MAKING YOU SICK? â€" ADVERTISEMENT â€" (Branch 486) hosts Open Euchre, 8 p.m., 79 Jones St. Cash prizes, draws and light snack. $2 per person.

More often than dry air, it is moist, humid air that poses a problem, especially in the winter when your house is sealed. High humidity levels promote condensation and the growth of fungi, mold and dust mites. Get rid of the excess moisture generated by cooking and showering by using exteriorâ€"vented to the outside. Use a dehumidifier in damp areas like basements (summer months). Make sure that any water leaks are repaired immediately. Keep surfaces free of mildew, and dry out or throw away waterâ€"damaged carpeting and other items to prevent biological pollutants from thriving. Ultimately, good indoor air quality depends on proper ventilation for the house as whole. Attics and crawl spaces should be well ventilated to prevent moisture buildâ€"up there and in the living spaces of the house. Stale air inside your house must be continually rejuvenated with fresh air from outside. Some fresh air may enter your house through gaps around windows and door, but the tighter your house is sealed against drafts, the less air exchange there is. Very tightly sealed homes and new, energyâ€"efficient "Râ€"2000" homes utilize mechanical ventilation systems, known as airâ€"toâ€"air exchangers or heat recovery ventilators to regulate ventilation and ensure proper air exchange.
