for radon, radiation.
- The majority of U.S. families (67 percent) live in a home with at least one major health risk.
- Research suggests that the addition of ultraviolet light to the brushing and suction of a vacuum cleaner can almost double the removal of potentially infectious microorganisms from a carpet’s surface when compared to vacuuming alone. Researchers say the findings suggest that incorporating the germicidal properties of UV light into vacuuming might have promise in reducing allergens and pathogens from carpets, as well.
- A new study by researchers at Brigham Young University and Harvard School of Public Health shows that average life expectancy in 51 U.S. cities increased nearly three years over recent decades, and approximately five months of that increase came thanks to cleaner air.
- Evidence is mouting that nanoparticles, too small to capture in a typical home air filter, are the most toxic type of air pollution.

- The FDA provides comprehensive advice about sunscreens.
- When it comes to cleaning products, the choices we make, the way we use them, and how we dispose of them has a big impact on the environment.

- According to DOE’s Building America program data, typical, residential ductwork efficiency is about 67%. That means that if you install a 90% efficient furnace, your system efficiency would be just over 60%. Another way to look at this is that ducts lose 25–40% of the energy that moves through them. Just from a practical standpoint it makes sense to improve the delivery system. Shorter, straighter, better engineered and installed ductwork will improve delivery efficiency.
- Before disturbing your existing wall paint, find out whether it contains lead, and if so, what to do about it.
