3 Simple IAQ Tips for Households With Younger Children
Mark J. Biel • May 13, 2022
We all want our children to grow up safe and healthy, and making this possible starts at home. The first step is to ensure that the spaces they inhabit remain healthy and safe. This isn’t limited to keeping every room clean or baby-proof; you have to pay attention to the quality of the air they breathe as well. Here R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, a premier heating repair company in the area, shares some handy indoor air quality (IAQ) tips for households with babies or younger children.
Be careful about the paints you use. The right use of colors can make a huge difference in the look and feel of your nursery or child’s bedroom. Just make sure to avoid toxic paints. This is because they contain a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are not only harmful to the environment, but can also cause adverse health effects. When choosing paint colors, go for ones that are marked “VOC-free” or primarily use organic materials.
Invest in a high-quality air purifier.
Running an air purification system might be the simplest and most effective way to maintain good IAQ in your New Mexico home. But not all air purifiers are of the same quality — which is why it always pays to choose a model from a trusted industry name. Take, for example, the Carrier® Infinity® air purifier offered by R.A. Biel Plumbing & Heating, an expert in air conditioning repair. This whole-home solution uses Captures and Kills
technology to inactivate up to 99% of select airborne pathogens. These range from allergens like dust, pollen, dander and mold spores to germs, bacteria, fumes and viruses. With this excellent solution in place, your child can avoid exposure to harmful particles and contaminants present within the indoor air.
Change your air filters regularly. If your air filters are clogged and filthy, dust, pet dander and other allergens can circulate throughout your house via the ductwork. Keep indoor air clean by making sure these filters are replaced at least once a month. This way, your child won’t be exposed to possible allergy triggers. If your kid suffers from asthma or severe allergies, be sure to change the filters more frequently.
