- Myth: Indoor Air Quality is Always Generally Healthier Than Outdoor Air
When you see smoke or haze outdoors, it is easy to assume that the air in your home is healthier and cleaner. This is not always the case. According to the EPA, indoor air is generally two to five times as polluted as the air outside. This is due to a variety of potential allergens in your home from combustion byproducts, mold, pet dander, radon, and volatile organic compounds. - Myth: Radon is Not Actually an Issue
Radon, which is a byproduct of uranium that is found on the soil, is radioactive. It occurs naturally but as uranium decomposes, but that does not mean that it is healthy. It can get into your home via the smallest gaps and it is colorless, odorless, and tasteless. It is also an all too common indoor air pollutant. In fact, the CDC says that it is the second leading cause of lung cancer, second only to smoking. Having a radon mitigation system installed can significantly improve air quality and help reduce your risk of radon poisoning. - Myth: It is Prohibitively Expense to Improve Indoor Air Quality
False. Improving the air quality in your house does not have to be expensive. You can do things like monitor sources of VOC that come into your home. Choose not to use items that are off-gas, such as dry-cleaned clothing. Improve ventilation in your home by adding exhaust fans or a whole-house fan. Make sure that when you are buying air filters, they have at last a 13 MERV rating.
