Dust accumulation in homes is not only unsightly but can also pose significant health risks, particularly for individuals with allergies, asthma, or other respiratory conditions. Comprising particles like dead skin cells, pollen, pet dander, and even mold spores, dust can exacerbate health issues and degrade indoor air quality.
This course delves into the sources of household dust and offers practical, evidence-based strategies to control and minimize its presence. From understanding the role of HVAC systems to implementing effective cleaning routines, participants will gain the knowledge needed to create a cleaner, healthier living environment.
