FRANKIE'S WEEKEND TIPS: How To Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

                          How To Improve Your Indoor Air Quality

Also called IAQ, people underestimate the importance of keeping their living and working spaces safe. Some suggestions: 

1. If you have an air filter, keep it clean so that it removes the most air pollutants possible.
2. Carpet can drag your IAQ right down. Carpets are traditionally made with synthetic materials that off-gas toxic chemical. These materials also make carpet hard to recycle (and therefore, most just go straight to the landfill). Carpets also can be home to pests and mildew. Avoid these issues by checking out the Shaw Contract Group, Interface, or Milliken Carpet.
3. Look for pieces of furniture that are not coated in harmful, off-gassing chemicals. Try Greenguard-certified products, Izzy Design, Haworth’s Zody chair, the Kobe Sofa Futon Bed, or Steelcase’s Think chair.
4. Buy a friendly plant. Some of the best plants for removing air pollutants such as formaldehyde and benzene include the peace lily, bamboo palm, English ivy, mums, and gerbera daisies.  Check out this table from the book Healthy Home and Office (pg. 38) by Dr. B.C. Wolverton to see which plants are best for dealing with benzene, trichloroethylene, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide. 

 

Air Pollutant Removal By House Plants Over 24 Hours
House Plant	Chemical Pollutant	Initial ppm	% Removed
English Ivy	Benzene	0.235	90 %
	Trichloroethylene	0.174	11 %
Peace Lily	Benzene	0.166	80 %
	Formaldehyde	10.0	50 %
	Trichloroethylene	20.0	50 %
Spider Plant	Formaldehyde	14.0	86 %
	Carbon Monoxide	128.0	96 %
Chrysanthemum	Benzene	58.0	54 %
	Formaldehyde	18.0	61 %
	Trichloroethylene	17.0	41 %
Mother-in-law tongue	Benzene	0.156	53 %
	Trichloroethylene	0.269	13 %
Golden Pathos	Benzene	0.156	53 %
	Formaldehyde	18.0	67 %
	Carbon Monoxide	113.0	75 %
Madag Dragon Tree	Benzene	0.176	79 %
	Formaldehyde	15.0	60 %
	Trichloroethylene	0.136	13 %
Waneckii	Benzene	0.182	70 %
	Formaldehyde	8.0	50 %
	Trichloroethylene	17.0	24 %
Heart Leaf	Formaldehyde	27.0	71 %
Corn Plant	Formaldehyde	20.0	70 %
Chinese Evergreen	Benzene	0.204	48 %

5. Coat your walls in natural paints and wall coveringsthat do not off-gas volatile organic compounds(VOCs).
6. Be careful about what cleaning supplies you use- many contain toxic chemicals!  If your cleaner says that it should only used with good ventilation, it's time to shop for greener cleaners.  Check out Huddler's suggested cleaning products.  Alternatively, Huddler has some great recipes for homemade cleaners.
7. Don't use commercial air fresheners!  These just cover up smells with chemical-based fragrances.  Baking soda is a great way to naturally absorb odors.
8. Someone in your household smoke?  Send smokers outside!
9. Levels of air pollution inside the home can be two to five times higher (and occasionally 100 times higher) than outdoor levels. (Source: Environmental Protection Agency, 2002)  On days when the outdoor air quality is good (less than 50 according to the World Health Organization), open your windows and let the fresh air in.  Check your air quality now.
10. If you live in a damp climate, use a dehumidifierto keep your humidity level around 45%.  This will cut down on mold and dust mites.

Frankie's Fabtastic Wednsday Line-Up 7/9/08

HEALTH SHOW 11:00 AM-12:00 PM

11:00-11:40 We have our Wednesday Regular Byron Richards. Today Bryon will be discussing his writings on statin drugs. The fraud of statins inside one’s body centers on the regulation of an enzyme known as HMG CoA reductase. Statins work by reducing the function of this enzyme, the higher the dose the more the enzyme is reduced, and the less cholesterol is made. It is well known that individuals with naturally lower cholesterol (LDL at 130, total less than 200) in their 40s and 50s have fewer cardiovascular problems as they grow older. However, taking a statin to reduce cholesterol to these levels or even lower is not the same thing as natural healthy function.
