How Your Home's Air Quality Affects Your Child's Health
Indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outdoor air, and your kids are breathing it in constantly. The good news? You don't need to overhaul your entire house or spend a fortune to make a real difference. A few simple swaps like switching to plant-based cleaners, opening windows regularly, and vacuuming with a HEPA filter can help reduce the chemical load your family is exposed to.
