Gas is bad for your health. Human beings breathe three thousand gallons of it. This is no great news and because of indoor pollution, we breathe even more impure gas.
All fuel burning materials, building materials and also cleaners increase the pollution rate. These contribute to heart disease , asthma, fatigue, headaches, and also cancer.
Stoves that are not properly maintained, and also chimneys and fireplaces emit floaters, soot like which contains nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide which cause many diseases. These can cause irritation in throat, nose and eyes. This can even cause damage to tissue of the lungs. You have to ensure the flame tips are blue because that emits less pollution. Phthalates are the types of chemicals which disperse scents. These are found in room fresheners, vinyl shower curtains, vinyl flooring, and detergents. These cause developmental problems and also reproductive problems. You may use baked lemons for fragrance and hang cotton shower curtains.
PBDEs are added to plastics, fabrics and foams which are found in furniture, computers and TVs. Exposure can cause reproductive and brain problems in animals.
You can replace the exposed pads of foams in cushion and cover them up. They can be cleaned with damp cloth. Radon is a radioactive gas which is odorless. It happens when the uranium in the bedrock breaks up beneath your home. This causes lung cancer. You can measure the levels of the house with a mini Radon detection kit.
The volatile compounds are in gaseous form and these are present in glue, paints, wood preservatives, cleaners, and clothing that have been dry cleaned. This causes throat, nose and eye irritation and also cancer, headaches and nausea. You should avoid products from pressed wood.
