Winter Air Quality And Your Home
Step back and take a deep breath. Feels great, doesn't it? With the winter season well upon us, it is time to stop and think about the quality of the air you are breathing.

In fact, a number of studies have shown that indoor air quality is often worse in the winter.

Home Humidifiers
So you have decided to buy an air purifier. You must have had enough of breathing the polluted air in you home, which doesn't smell nice nor is it too agreeable for your lungs. So, you must also have decided on which brand to go for and what look so you need in your air purifier. But more importantly, have you considered what filter would you be needing and why would you be needing that one.

Air Quality Forecasting
EPA , together with state and local governments, has expanded air quality forecasting to include year-round, daily information on particle pollution. "Particle pollution" consists of microscopic particles in the air that can get deep into the lungs, potentially causing serious health problems. Unlike summertime ozone, particle pollution can occur throughout the year. Although particle levels aren't high every day, you should check your Air Quality Index (AQI) forecasts to determine whether you need to take action to reduce your exposure. Forecasts, health information, and maps showing real-time particle levels are available on EPA's AIRNow web site at: www.epa.gov/airnow |
