Yesterday I addressed Dressing for Success in a Polluted City: 5 Clothing Tips + Engaging Experiences, based on what I did while living in China for one year.

Today, let's talk about Protecting Your Home in a Heavily Polluted City, especially since NYC's air quality alert has been extended.

Here are five essential actions to consider:

Air Purification: Invest in air purifiers to filter out pollutants indoors. Enjoy cleaner air, reduce respiratory risks, and promote better health for you and your loved ones.

Sealing Windows and Doors: Seal gaps and cracks around windows and doors to keep outside pollutants at bay. Enhance indoor air quality and energy efficiency simultaneously.

Indoor Plants: Bring nature indoors with indoor plants. They beautify your space and act as natural air purifiers, improving air quality and boosting mood.

Regular Cleaning: Stay on top of dusting, vacuuming, and mopping to eliminate settled pollutants. Maintain a cleaner living environment and reduce the circulation of harmful particles.

Mindful Ventilation: Be cautious about outdoor air quality. Open windows when pollution levels are lower, and use air conditioning or air filters to circulate clean air when needed.

By taking these actions, you create a healthier home environment, mitigating the risks of respiratory issues, allergies, and other health concerns. Let's continue to prioritize our well-being and protect our homes for a better quality of life.
