Get Rid of Indoor Pollution Homes are better insulated now than they used to be. That's great for keeping cool in summer and warm in winter, but in one way it's not so good. Tight homes mean less fresh air is circulating--and that can lead to indoor pollution. In fact, indoor air may be 100 times more polluted than outdoor air.
If members of your family suffer from sore throats and stuffy noses, it may be something more serious than allergies or the common cold. Contaminants from seemingly benign sources such as furniture, drapes, insulation and carpets can cause a variety of maladies including respiratory problems, dizziness, headaches, skin rashes, nausea and vomiting.
The good news is that a low cost attractive solution does exist. Research studies conducted by NASA show that foliage and flowering plants can help clean and refresh the air in our homes. Their research recommends one plant per 100 square feet of space to help clean indoor air.
