- Personal care products
- Air fresheners and candles
Though they are usually more efficient, newer homes don’t ventilate the way older homes do. Secure weather stripping and storm doors keep indoor air in and exterior air out. This gives more energy savings, but the lowered exchange of outdoor and indoor air can cause pollutants accumulating indoors.
In these circumstances, a whole-house ventilation system is suggested. Ventilation systems exchange polluted indoor air for cleaner outside air without sacrificing energy savings.
