Open a window!

Ever wonder why you have such horrible headaches and eye irration out the blue? Or how about allergies, respirtory problems and chemical sensitivity? These all may come from Volatile Organic Compounds . The EPA concluded that indoor air is three times as polluted at outdoor air. Why is that? Indoor air contains fumes from paints and finishes and also, how many of us keep air circulating? Most of the air is confined all day in the rooms of our homes.

what do to?
Its summer! Keep windows open and feel the nice cool breeze. This will get air circulating in your house so that it wont be so stuffy.

If you're painting, paint with low/no VOC which will be indicated on the can. They are odorless and they release no fumes! Dont worry, they all come in the same colors are their harmful counterparts.
