A MUST WATCH by American Lung Association on Volitile Organic Compounds in our homes.
As I started looking at my home and all the VOCs in it…. overwhelming….so many contributers….candles, air fresheners, cleaning products, laundry detergents and personal hygiene to name a few.
Changes we’ve made so far to our air quality….not perfect but a start.
No more candles, air fresheners or artificial fragrances ….instead 100% essential oil in diffuser
Open windows daily if able to
Add plants, specially Snake plants 🪴. It’s still debatable but there’s many studies verifying that this plant absorbs some VOCs in the home. It is also one of the only plants that omits more oxygen at night time. Great to have beside your bed! Plus, it’s impossible to kill these things 👍🏻
A more costly investment is to have hepa filter air purifier in the home, especially if you can’t open windows
There’s so much quality research out there to be informed 👍🏻. I’m no expert. Just trying to make better decisions for our home.
