The holidays bring family, laughter, and cozy comforts. But did you know indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air? Common items like candles and cleaning sprays release toxins into your space.
The Hidden Dangers of Indoor Air Pollution
Indoor air pollution can stem from unexpected sources like radon, mold, improper ventilation, lead paint, and fumes from household cleaners, laundry products, and plug-in fresheners. According to the California EPA, indoor air can contain harmful gases and particles that build up to dangerous levels.
