Hi there I have a problem with air pollution, I live on a main industrial thoroughfare, with huge lorries and buses passing frequently during all hours of day. This means I cannot open my windows safely and if I do I get black dust all over my walls . So not only do I get the lung contamination, but have to struggle to clean my walls, this being so I keep my windows tightly closed.

Hello,
Here are some tips to keep air quality at your home on a high level:
1. Ventilate your home by opening windows and running exhaust fans
2. Do not allow smoking in your home
3. Remove clutter (clutter collects dust!)
4. Minimize dust mites by washing your bed linens weekly, lowering the humidity level, and keeping pets off your furniture
5. Keep floors and carpets clean
6. Install an air filtration system
7. Have your air conditioner inspected regularly for mold and mildew in the duct work
8. Reduce your exposure to household chemicals such as paints, varnishes, and cleaning products.
