Air Quality Concerns During Spring – What You Need To Know
Spring is here and that means warmer weather – but changes in the weather can also influence your lifestyle.

Spring Cleaning? Think About Indoor Air Quality
Like the old saying goes, home is where the heart is. Indoors is also where you will likely spend the majority of your life. The average American will spend over 80% of their life indoors. When most people think about air pollution, they envision factory smokestacks, smog over a city or exhaust from a traffic jam. But indoor air quality can actually be worse than outdoor air quality. Spring is also a time that many people enjoy the annual task of Spring Cleaning!
For all the time we spend indoors in our home, it’s important to know the ways you can improve indoor air quality to stay healthy and comfortable, especially for people with allergies or respiratory issues.
Les polluants de l'air intérieur peuvent avoir un impact profond sur votre niveau de confort et votre santé. Avec le temps, une mauvaise qualité de l'air intérieur peut également provoquer des maladies et des problèmes respiratoires. Les polluants de l'air peuvent être des contaminants apportés par d'autres personnes ou des animaux domestiques, des acariens, des spores, des moisissures, des gaz dangereux comme le monoxyde de carbone et le radon ou des produits chimiques volatils émis par les nettoyants classiques et la cuisine. La qualité de l'air intérieur a tendance à être plus mauvaise pendant les mois d'hiver car il n'y a souvent pas de flux d'air frais provenant de l'extérieur, ce qui signifie que les allergènes restent piégés à l'intérieur. Les vieilles maisons peuvent contenir des particules d'amiante et de plomb, qui peuvent être nocives pour les poumons lorsqu'elles sont libérées dans l'air.
Ces polluants atmosphériques et allergènes peuvent non seulement causer des problèmes respiratoires, mais aussi provoquer des poussées chez les personnes qui ont déjà des problèmes respiratoires. Les enfants, les personnes asthmatiques et les personnes âgées peuvent être particulièrement sensibles aux polluants intérieurs, mais d'autres effets sur la santé peuvent apparaître des années plus tard, après une exposition répétée.
Il existe plusieurs moyens simples d'améliorer la qualité de l'air intérieur, qu'il s'agisse de votre maison ou de votre bureau. Ces mesures peuvent améliorer considérablement votre confort et votre santé générale tout au long de l'année :
– Change indoor air filters
– Keep it clean and vacuum
– Use air purifiers and dehumidifiers
– Let fresh air inside by occasionally opening windows

Outdoor Activities and Exercise? Think About Respiratory Support
With warmer weather, millions of Americans will enjoy getting back outdoors, whether it’s for exercise, leisure, hiking and camping or travel.
America’s parks will be filling up with plenty of campers and hikers. Boost Oxygen provides pure supplemental oxygen after sitting around the smoke from a relaxing campfire. Supplemental Oxygen also helps you wake up and clear the cobwebs after a night spent inside a tent or RV camper. Many people also like to camp and hike at higher altitudes – and supplemental oxygen can help with altitude acclimation.
“Need to catch my Breath”… “I’m Winded”… “Need a Break” – terms everyone uses while pushing their body during exercise or physical activity. Boost Oxygen provides 95% pure oxygen to help you get back to peak performance. Whether you need to catch your breath during a quick run or a marathon, taking a break from a hike or a bike ride, or competing on the court in basketball or tennis, supplemental oxygen helps you recover quicker!
Millions of Americans will also be traveling the roads and highways this summer for vacation. Air pollution from traffic, lack of physical activity and driving fatigue at night can all lead to oxygen deficiency which can cause dizziness, fatigue and headaches. Supplemental Oxygen can help you stay focused and energized while driving long distances.
Spring Weather Also Means Allergy Season – Supplemental Oxygen Can Help
The arrival of Spring and warmer weather also means allergies for millions of people, as well as the occasional cold or flu. Spring can be beautiful with flowers blooming, but that can also mean sneezing, coughing and runny noses for those with allergies to pollen.
Your body can become poorly oxygenated as it fights off the common cold or flu. Your body needs oxygen so it can provide oxygen-rich blood cells to keep your tissues and organs healthy. Without proper oxygen, you can feel tired and your immune system weakens. Oxygen is also naturally anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory and can sooth inflamed airways resulting in easier breathing.
