Environmental problems are often thought of as existing almost exclusively outdoors, but in reality, it is the indoors where we are the most vulnerable. | The tighter construction of newer homes can lead to a build- of indoor pollutants especially windows and doors are kept ishut and there is insufficient ven- tilation. Poor air quality can pro- symptoms such as coughing, burning eyes or nose, headaches, dizziness, nausea, nose bleeds, fatigue, dry skin, rashes and gen- eral allergic reactions. People 1. Furnace filters: Be sure to check your filter often and replace it regularly. Newer acti- vated carbon or chemical absorbent filters actually help remove gases but are more expensive. Interestingly enough, the unassuming spider plant can also help clean in-door air. It's been found that the plant absorbs a certain amount of formalde- hyde gas during the photosynthe- sis process. 2. Firewood: Dry it outside and bring it in only in the quantities you require. Firewood left drying inside loads the house with mois- ture and creates a breeding ground for mould as well as insects and small rodents. 3. Cleaning and painting prod- ucts: It’s hard to believe but over 60,000 commercial chemicals in CASTLEGAR'S DOWNTOWN REAL ESTATE SALES TEAM SERVING CASTLEGAR AND RURAL AREAS ENTICING INVESTMENT ‘This well maintained, cen located Duplex is an excellent are ly rented for $1000/month.

Provide extra ventilation not only when using these prod- ucts but for a period afterwards to dilute any lingering gases. 4. Daily activities: Even our personal habits can have a major impact on the quality of air with- in the home. Cooking for exam- ple, can generate moisture and odours. It can also produce air- borne grease and other hydrocar- bons which can permeate the entire house. Make sure your kitchen is well ventilated and thoroughly clean countertops when finished. Long, hot show- ers load the air with moisture too. But perhaps the most dangerous activity is smoking.
