Steps

3 steps
  1. Use an Air Filter
    Use a HEPA air filter in your home to reduce exposure to air pollutants. Change the filter regularly to ensure optimal performance.
    Pro tipLook for an air filter that is designed to capture a wide range of pollutants, including particulate matter, gases, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
    WarningBe aware of the potential for air filters to produce ozone, which can be harmful to health
  2. Use a Water Filter
    Use a water filter that is designed to remove a wide range of pollutants, including heavy metals, pesticides, and herbicides. Consider using a reverse-osmosis water filter for optimal performance.
    Pro tipLook for a water filter that is certified by a reputable third-party organization, such as NSF International or the Water Quality Association
    WarningBe aware of the potential for water filters to remove beneficial minerals from the water
  3. Avoid Pesticides and Herbicides
    Avoid using pesticides and herbicides in your home and garden. Instead, use natural methods to control pests and weeds, such as introducing beneficial insects or using physical barriers.
    Pro tipLook for alternative methods to control pests and weeds, such as using diatomaceous earth or neem oil
    WarningBe aware of the potential for pesticides and herbicides to contaminate soil, water, and air
