Stay Home, Stay Healthy

In the modern society, before stay at home, we highly suggest you an air quality monitor to figure out the air quality levels in your home. Here are some air quality tips to help you stay healthy and productive.

1. Reduce Carbon Dioxide Level

Inhaling high levels of carbon dioxide can affect the brain's ability to metabolize oxygen. This reduces neuronal activity and ultimately makes clear thinking difficult. When you spend more time in a confined space, there are moderate spikes in carbon dioxide, making you sleepy and having trouble concentrating. In fact, one study found that workers in high-carbon environments were 60 times slower to take cognitive tests and scored 12 percent lower than those in low-carbon environments.

If you spend a lot of time in your home, open the Windows and let the fresh air escape from the carbon dioxide. Also, use a pedestal fan or central HVAC system to circulate air around the house and prevent excessive CO2 concentrations in the room.

2. Mind PM2.5 and TVOCs Levels

There is some truth to the phrase "cabin fever". Not only are you unhappy, but if you spend too much time in buildings with poor air quality, you can actually feel sick or suffer from "chunky building syndrome". These nonspecific symptoms are usually associated with high levels of suspended matter (PM2.5) and toxic chemicals (VOC).

Many common household activities cause indoor air pollution. For example, when cooking in a gas stove, microscopic combustion particles (PM2.5) are released into the air. This can lead to a drop in indoor air quality compared to busy cities. In addition, cleaning with a chemical cleaner can increase your home's VOC value. Inhaling large amounts of PM2.5 and VOC not only increases the risk of long-term health complications, but can also cause chronic respiratory irritation and infection.

Of course, that doesn't mean you should avoid these activities. When it comes to indoor air quality, simply paying more attention to product choices and habits can make a big difference.

Simple ways to reduce pollution:

When cooking or cleaning, open the vent at the top of the stove and break the window.

Fry foods at low temperatures and choose oils with high smoke points.

Clean regularly with a small amount of chemical "green" detergent and wipe the surface with a wet cloth to collect fine dust.

Do not burn incense, essential oils, candles, or air purifying sprays.

Ventilate before, during and after work.

3. Ensure Healthy Temperature and Humidity

The reason why winter is always "cold and flu season" depends on the temperature and humidity outside. In most parts of the country, temperature and humidity drop in winter and rise in summer. Studies have shown that viruses such as influenza in the air can be helped for longer periods of time in low-humidity environments, increasing exposure risks and facilitating outbreaks. The scientists also found that rhinoviruses, the main cause of colds, replicate better at lower temperatures.

Health professionals are still not sure if covid-19 is seasonal, but it is always a good idea to maintain a healthy temperature and humidity at home. The ideal temperature range is 65°F to 80°F and the relative humidity is between 40% and 50%. Monitoring the thermostat during dry months and investing in a humidifier can help prevent common infections and maximize your immune system.

Temtop air quality monitor features advanced laser particle sensor , electrochemical sensor, CO2 infrared sensor and temperature and humidity sensor can directly transform the concentration of pollutants in the air into visual data on various occasions and display the real-time data of them in time to guarantee your health in the environment.
