When you hear the words "air pollution", do you think also in context of indoor air pollution? If you are less concerned about indoor air quality, you belong to the majority. Unfortunately, the fact is that the indoor levels of some pollutants may be two to five times higher than outdoor levels!

According to Dr. Neil Schachter, M.D., past president of the American Lung Association of the City of New York and author of Life and Breath:

"Many people don't realize that their home can be a breeding ground for allergens, such as pollen, dust mite debris, mold spores and other particles that may be airborne. Other things in the air, such as chemicals from everyday household items like furniture, carpeting, paints and cleaning products, can also contribute to poor indoor air quality. For people who are sensitive to these types of things, irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, headaches, dizziness and fatigue may result."

Next post: tips from Dr. Schachter on how to keep your indoor air quality a boost.
