Many babies are exposed to harmful toxins at home, at daycare, and
at others homes. Good indoor air quality is especially important for
babies. Babies lungs may not be as mature as an adults and their skin
is more sensitive. However, improving indoor air quality will benefit
all members of the family.Cleaning products are some of the biggest
culprits of toxins in the house. While infants aren't in danger of
finding and drinking them, the products are used on carpets, bed
linens, tables, dishes, and baby's clothes regularly. All of these
things come into contact with baby. In addition, some of the cleaners
have such strong odors, that even adults have a hard time staying in
the room immediately after use. Replacing normal cleaners with organic
ones or ones that are free of perfumes and dyes will help keep your
baby healthy while keeping his environment clean.Any paint used in
baby's nursery, or on baby's furniture should be free of toxins and
strong odors. If you live in an old house, make sure that the paint on
the walls or baseboards does not contain lead. It's important to keep
floors clean, especially when baby learns to crawl. Using organic
cleaners and taking shoes off as you come in the door will aid in
keeping the floor clean for baby. It will also help the air quality to
purchase a vacuum that uses a HEPA filter.In addition, replacing air
conditioning filters with HEPA filters will help remove dust and
impurities from the air. However, this only cleans the air that goes
through it so it will not be enough. A HEPA air purifier placed in or
near the nursery will do the most for cleaning the air your baby
breathes. They can also help relieve allergies and asthma. Investing
in a HEPA air purifier will benefit the whole family, especially the
newborn.
