By now you know smoking ruins the air in your home and can render it fatal to some. And even though you probably don't always follow the advice you know you are supposed to wash all your bedding and blankets at least once a week in hot water to kill dust mites. But do you know many of those popular air "fresheners" are actually air polluters, that you should let dry-cleaned items air out for a few days before bringing them inside your home and that some air "cleaners" actually emit ozone, a potent lung irritant?
Bad indoor air quality at home can ruin your day, not to mention your quality of life -- especially if you have asthma or allergies -- but you can easily clean it up with a few lifestyle changes.
There is help.
A new Internet-powered assessment can give your home's air quality the once over and let you take a test to determine if you are taking the necessary steps to improve the air you breathe most.
The American Lung Association's new online Indoor Air Quality Assessment and its partner Test Your IAQ Knowledge exam are two of the latest examples of how the Internet's information technology can ferret out specific information tailored to meet household needs.
Indoor Air Quality Assessment
The lung association's air quality assessment walks you through a series of questions designed to create a sort of air quality profile of your home based on its age, type of home, location and your living habits.
