I should have included the EPA's recommendations for care that are also included in that document: "What Other Methods Can Be Used to Control Indoor Air Pollution? The three most common approaches to reducing indoor air pollution, in order of effectiveness, are: Source Control: Eliminate or control the sources of pollution; Ventilation: Dilute and exhaust pollutants through outdoor air ventilation, and Air Cleaning: Remove pollutants through proven air cleaning methods. Of the three, the first approach -- source control -- is the most effective. This involves minimizing the use of products and materials that cause indoor pollution, employing good hygiene practices to minimize biological contaminants (including the control of humidity and moisture, and occasional cleaning and disinfection of wet or moist surfaces), and using good housekeeping practices to control particles. The second approach -- outdoor air ventilation -- is also effective and commonly employed. Ventilation methods include installing an exhaust fan close to the source of contaminants, increasing outdoor air flows in mechanical ventilation systems, and opening windows, especially when pollutant sources are in use. The third approach -- air cleaning -- is not generally regarded as sufficient in itself, but is sometimes used to supplement source control and ventilation. Air filters, electronic particle air cleaners and ionizers are often used to remove airborne particles, and gas adsorbing material is sometimes used to remove gaseous contaminants when source control and ventilation are inadequate. " I wish anyone dealing with these problems and pollutants the absolute best. I would encourage anyone that has a problem to talk to their doctor, and, when applicable, talk to a professional that can help define the condition(s) of the indoor environment in which they live. Professionals can be found easily on the websites of those organizations that oversee education or certification recognition such as Indoor Air Quality Association, Amierican Indoor Air Quality Council, and the American Industrial Hygiene Association. Again, best wishes to all.
