While it’s true that there aren’t as many allergens in the air in the winter as there are in the spring, indoor air quality can still be severely impacted in the winter. A lack of humidity, an inability to open windows for fresh air, and air pollutants like salt, dirt, and accumulated dust can decrease your indoor air quality. If you’re interested in learning more about common winter air pollutants and how to improve your indoor air quality this winter, read what our experts have to say!
