When it comes to taking in a breath inside our home, we all take it for granted that it's healthy - but the truth is that indoor air pollution means that the air inside our homes could be more polluted than the air outside of it! Symptoms of Pollution in the Home We are often unaware of what this pollution does to our bodies, to such an extent that many of us don't even think of it.
However, pollution can have a number of negative effects on our health, leading to symptoms such as...

• Fever,
• Headaches,
• Nausea,
• Fatigue,
• Cancer,
• Irritability,
• Depression,
• Dizziness,
• Anxiety,
• Respiratory problems,
• And more!

The Sources of Pollution in Our Homes The truth is that the more we work at ensuring heat stays in our homes and that they are well insulated, the more we need to think about ventilation as a way of reducing the toxins in the air.
These toxins come from a wide range of sources, including dust and animal dander.
Perhaps the most worrying source of toxins and chemicals in the air of our homes are chemical cleaners and products.
This can include cosmetic products containing toxic chemicals, products we use to clean our homes, air fresheners and more! We just don't realise the concoction of chemicals that goes into creating these products.
How to Reduce Levels of Pollution The good news is that we can help to reduce the indoor air pollution of homes by following green living tips and reducing the chemicals we use in everyday life.
It's also important to realise that we don't have to change everything about our life to be able to make a difference.
Simply ventilating the home by opening windows for a few minutes a day will do a lot to help fresh air get in - and buying a few plants will help to keep the air fresh.
Over time, you will also become aware of many more measures to help reduce pollution in the home.
