and other respiratory illnesses.
2. Dust and clean your home regularly.
3. Clean up mold and fix water leaks.

and seal leaks.

Mold can lead to allergic reactions, asthma, and other
respiratory ailments. Mold can grow anywhere there is moisture in a house. The
key to mold control is moisture control.
If mold is a
problem in your home, you should clean up the mold promptly and fix the water
problem. It is important to dry water-damaged areas and items within 24-48
hours to prevent mold growth.
VOCs (volatile organic compounds) cause eye, nose, and throat
irritation, headaches, nausea, and can damage the liver, kidney, and central
nervous system. Volatile organic compounds are chemicals that evaporate at room
temperature. VOCs are emitted by a wide array of products used in homes including
paints and lacquers, paint strippers, varnishes, cleaning supplies, air
fresheners, pesticides, building materials, and furnishings.
1. VOCs are released from products into the
home both during use and while stored.
2. Read and follow all directions and
warnings on common household products.
3. Make sure there is plenty of fresh air
and ventilation (opening windows and using extra fans) when painting,
remodeling, or using other products that may release VOCs.
4. Never mix products, such as household
cleaners, unless directed to do so on the label.
5. Store household products that contain
chemicals according to manufacturers’ instructions. Keep all products away from
children!
