Optimizing your indoor air quality can benefit your health. Studies have shown that indoor air pollution contributes to respiratory conditions, including allergies.

Some key ways to improve the air quality in your home:

- **Open your windows.** Allowing stale indoor air to escape and replacing it with fresh air is one of the simplest, yet most important, things you can do to reduce indoor air pollution. Supplement fresh air with strategically placed fans to maximize air circulation. Or consider installing a whole-house ventilation system.
- **Keep your ducts and vents clean.** Over time, dust, dirt and other contaminants build up in your ducts and vents and get circulated into the air you breathe when you run your HVAC system. Schedule seasonal cleanings with a certified HVAC professional.
- **Use air filters and purifiers.** HEPA air filters and purifiers are capable of removing a range of contaminants from the air you breathe, including dust, bacteria and viruses. UV lights can be installed in your HVAC system to zap some pollutants.
- **Read the labels on your household cleansers.** Chemicals in the nonylphenol and octylphenol families should be avoided altogether or only used in well-ventilated areas.
- **Vacuum regularly.** If you have carpets, you should be sure to vacuum them at least once a week to get rid of trapped dust and dirt. Dust the surfaces in the room after vacuuming, not before.
- **Control indoor humidity.** Avoid the buildup of mold spores by keeping your indoor humidity levels between 30 percent and 60 percent.
