(NaturalNews) For most of us, our homes represent a safe haven from the challenges of work, school and everyday living out in the world. But, is your home really the safe and healthy retreat you imagine it to be?
This answer may surprise you because
the indoor environment of your home almost certainly harbors harmful bacteria, toxins and other environmental threats. While problems associated with outdoor air pollution get the most publicity, it is estimated that indoor air is an astounding five times more polluted than the outdoor environment.

Taking control of your health begins at home
You are probably well aware of the many risks caused by outdoor pollutants. Measures of outdoor air quality through such well-publicized formulas as the SMOG index and allergy alerts have served as near-constant reminders in raising awareness of how the outdoor environment could be impacting your
health.
But much less attention is given to indoor air quality, which is often taken for granted. That's unfortunate, since poor indoor air quality is the fourth largest environmental threat in the United States and half of all illnesses are known to be either caused or aggravated by poor
indoor air quality.
In fact, the American Lung Association points out that indoor air can be home to a long list of potentially dangerous toxins and pollutants, including bacteria and viruses, carpets, cleaning supplies, mold and dampness, pet dander, radon, smoke, dust mites, paint products and many other chemicals and impurities.
Is your home making you sick?
Exposure to poor indoor air quality can have immediate effects on health, with even a first-time exposure to some toxins and pollutants causing headaches, dizziness and irritation of the ears, nose and throat.
But indoor air pollutants can also have more lasting impacts on health, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Such effects can occur years later, after just a single or short-term exposure, or can develop over time due to repeated exposure to pollutants. Reactions can be severely debilitating or even fatal, and include a host of respiratory diseases, heart disease and cancer.

natural way to clean up your indoor air space. On the next NaturalNews Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Dr. Moshe Dekel detail the health dangers of toxic indoor air and, more importantly, how to neutralize indoor pollution.
