Simple strategies for cleaner air:

✅ Use HEPA vacuum cleaners – Regularly vacuum floors, rugs, and upholstery using a vacuum with a HEPA filter.

✅ Ventilate when cooking – Always use your range hood, or open windows and doors when frying, baking, or broiling.

✅ Reduce sources – Avoid burning candles, incense, or wood indoors. Use non-toxic cleaning products that don’t create airborne residues.

✅ Use air purifiers with HEPA filters – These can trap fine particles like PM2.5. Place them in bedrooms, living areas, or wherever someone is experiencing symptoms.

✅ Keep outdoor pollution out – Use weatherstripping, air-sealing, and well-maintained filters to limit what enters from outside.

✅ Monitor air quality – Invest in an indoor air quality monitor that measures PM2.5 and PM10 in real-time. Some monitors also link to apps that alert you when levels rise.
