You may find yourself spending more time at home during the winter season. Enjoying inside activities like reading a book beneath a cozy blanket or gathering with friends for holiday parties are common during the chillier part of the year. But did you know that the season can cause the quality of air in your home to drop considerably? However, there are a few ways that you can prevent your indoor air from dropping with the outdoor temperatures.
Why Winter Worsens Indoor Air Quality
During the colder months, you probably keep your windows closed most of the time. Of course, this keeps the frigid air out. It also traps air in, and this can lead to a wide range of problems. Some of the factors within your home that can worsen indoor air quality include:
- Furnaces
- Wood burners
- Stoves
- Dryers
- Water heaters
- Candles
- Furniture
- Paint
- Mold
- Mildew
- Pet Dander
- Radon
- Pollen
- Lead
These things can accumulate to toxic levels that have the potential to negatively impact your health. It’s wise to consult an HVAC contractor or indoor air quality expert to learn of ways to reduce your risk.
