Between work and home, people tend to spend roughly 90% of their time indoors. Those who need clean air the most - children, people with illnesses, the elderly - spend even more time inside. Because of time spent indoors and a host of other factors, inside air can be worse for your health than outside air. Thankfully there are dozens of good air purifiers that can reduce mold, mildew, allergens, smells and bacteria.
If you feel sick and congested inside your own home, you can pretty much be sure your air pollution is too high. Some other signs include:
| Strange and noticeable smells |
| Feeling healthier outside |
| Stuffy, stale air |
| A reaction after remodeling, getting new furniture, using household products or moving into a new place |
| A noticeable lack of air movement |
| Appearance of mold and mildew |
| Excessive humidity |
What are common sources of indoor air pollution?
Cigarette Smoke
Tobacco smoke produces formaldehyde, particulates and combustion products.

Mold, dust mites, animal hair, mildew and roaches from high humidity, poorly maintained air conditioners and humidifiers and poor ventilation.
Small Particulates
Dust and pollen, particulates from fireplaces, wood stoves, unvented gas space heaters and kerosene heaters.
Combustion Products
Carbon monoxide from fossil fuel space heaters, unvented ovens and stoves, and backdrafts from water heaters and furnaces.
Lead
From lead-based paint dust, usually comes from removing, sanding, scraping or burning the paint.
Formaldehyde
