Dear Annie,
I am new to being concerned about indoor air pollution but I am pregnant and want to make sure I have a healthy home. How can I begin? –Alice, CA
Dear Alice,
Great! You are doing just the right thing for yourself and your baby. Why not take this new quiz: Think your home’s air is OK? What you learn from your mistakes will be a good starting point for you. Although this sounds self-serving I don’t mean it to be because I am trying to help, I’d also suggest you obtain (from the library?) a copy of my book Home Enlightenment (Rodale paperback, 2008). Or, try the Green Guide (National Geographic, 2008).

Good info, thank you
Of all the places you spend time, your home is where you and your family may be exposed to the most potentially damaging pollutants. From cleaning and beauty products, allergens, dust, odors, vapors released from carpets and other textiles, and even from the water you shower in, you may be breathing low quality air that may be affecting your family's health. I recently began having respiratory problems and allergies. I installed a Austinair hm400 filtration system. Immmediately I noticed a difference in the way I felt. I actually felt the change in the quality of air in my home, and began sleeping better. I was actually amazed that I had not done this years earlier. Educate yourself on potential pollution in your home now and consider using "green" cleaning products.
helpful info.
good info on survey, thank you
Well, this is one more advantage to having a mild winter. I don't think that there is much indoor air pollution. After all, with the weather this mild, I imagine only a very very few people have not cracked open a window or two from time to time. I know I have had a window or two open, a time or two, and I am usually the 'freeze baby' of the family.
Thank-you for the article & the helpful tidbits of information.
Thanks!~
