Feeling dizzy? Having a severe headache? If you experience migraines often, it is important to visit your doctor to determine their cause. Migraines are caused by a variety of factors. Not many people realize that indoor air quality is amongst the leading causes of migraines. 
While scientists still don’t fully understand what causes migraines, research suggests that there are various environmental factors that can trigger migraines or make them worse. If you suffer with migraines, it is a good idea to keep a journal of when your migraines start or what is happening when they get worse. This will help you identify triggers so you can avoid them.
According to a study by the Environment Protection Agency (US EPA), indoor air quality in many homes is much worse than outdoor air quality. The air in many homes has high levels of air pollutants including formaldehyde, mold spores, dust mites, carbon monoxide and much more. Research has shown that exposure to environmental irritants such as formaldehyde and other noxious gases, makes people susceptible to developing migraines. Exposure to high levels of these air pollutants in your home could therefore be the reason your experiencing migraines.
What to do about indoor air quality
If you suspect that the quality of the air in your home is poor, the first step you should take is to have your home inspected and tested. Testing will reveal exactly what pollutants are present in the home and at what level. Testing will help you determine what needs to be done to improve the quality of air in your home.
One of the most effective ways of improving indoor air quality is by investing in a whole home ventilation system. Unlike air conditioners that simply recycle the stale air in your home, whole home ventilation systems remove stale air and expel it to the outdoors. They then draw clean and fresh air from outside into your home. They therefore keep your home ventilated without causing loss in energy to the outside. You will save money on energy bills while ensuring your home’s air quality is good.
Depending on the type and level of pollutants in your air, you may also want to eliminate the sources of pollution that can be removed. For example, if your air has a high level of mold spores, you should invest in mold remediation services.

The Dangers of FebrezeFebreze is classified as an air freshener, created by Proctor & Gamble. It reports to work by “trapping” odor molecules in a donut-shaped chemical.
The first thing that is really important to understand: the product does not remove odor molecules and it doesn’t clean the item it comes into contact with.
The odor molecules are still there. Your nose just can’t perceive them because you smell the chemical product instead.
That alone should be your first warning. We know inhalation of any chemicals is dangerous, and several of its ingredients listed below are known to irritate the lungs… but this is a chemical whose entire purpose is to be inhaled!
The Natural Resources Defense Council studied the effects of air fresheners, discovering that they currently undergo no safety testing. The results were disturbing, because they revealed high levels of phthalates, which are known to be especially harmful to children. These chemicals were even present in sprays which were claimed to be “All-Natural” and “unscented”. Phthalates were not disclosed in the list of ingredients for any of the products. “Phthalates are hormone-disrupting chemicals that can be particularly dangerous for young children and unborn babies. Exposure to phthalates can affect testosterone levels and lead to reproductive abnormalities, including abnormal genitalia and reduced sperm production. The State of California notes that five types of phthalates — including one that we found in air freshener products — are ‘known to cause birth defects or reproductive harm.’” — Natural Resources Defense Council
1,4- Dichlorobenzene is a chemical that is found in the blood of 96% of Americans. It has been linked to lung damage, is a known carcinogen, and it is an E.P.A. registered pesticide. Studies found it to increase rates of asthma. It can be found in the majority of air fresheners, toilet deodorizers, and mothballs. It works by attacking the receptors in the nose, and thus eliminating the sense of smell. This is how the new generation of air fresheners actually “freshen”. This chemical was introduced into the American market with the Febreze product from Proctor & Gamble. The new generation of air fresheners that were inspired by the success of Febreze are literally using chemical warfare to destroy their customers’ sense of smell. That lack of smell is where the illusion of freshness comes from. The user only smells these air fresheners for about a minute after they have been sprayed, and then the nose cannot smell most fragrances anymore. This is not a normal adjustment to odors, anymore than a loss of one of the other four senses. The process is the equivalent of using a chemical blinding agent to escape the unpleasantness of a bright light; when that chemical is known to be both poisonous and carcinogenic. By design, the freshening chemical causes damage to the mucous membrane, which is claimed to be temporary. However, no long-term studies have ever been done to test the effects of chronic exposure. It is important to remember that anything inhaled is immediately absorbed into the blood through the lungs relatively unchanged.
Unfortunately there is not much data being shared on Febreze and their many products, but the Environmental Working Group (EWG) did conduct a test for the ingredients of one of their products, Febreze Air Effects.
Shockingly, P&G only disclosed THREE ingredients in this product, but the EWG…they found 87 chemicals in total!
Now this is just one Febreze product, but the fact that only 3 ingredients were disclosed and that so many undisclosed ingredients are dangerous, it’s safe to assume that their other air fresheners are just as dangerous.
Below you’ll find a list of just some of the 87 chemicals found by the EWG in Febreze Air Effects, listed in order of their toxicity to humans:
You can find the EWG’s full report on the dangers of Febreze and other common cleaners here.
Again, it’s important to understand that these types of products are not only dangerous to our health, but they aren’t actually cleaning the air or eliminating odor. They are just masking it…the bacteria and molecules are still hanging around, maybe even making you sick themselves.
If you really want to remove odors naturally there are two recommendations I have:

Indoor air quality is an important issue all over the world. In the United States, indoor air quality is critical, given that according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, 60 percent of homes and buildings are risky because they have air contaminated with airborne pollutants.
To improve the quality of indoor air, many homeowners and owners of commercial buildings install equipment such as dehumidifiers and air purifiers to remove moisture from the air, or to purify the air, respectively.
Some buildings also have both air purifiers and air dehumidifiers installed. But there are 2-in-1 devices that act as air purifiers and dehumidifiers. In this article, you will learn about how standalone purifiers and dehumidifiers work and how a 2-in-1 device combines the two functions.
How Standalone Air Purifiers and Dehumidifiers Work
A standalone air purifier functions by trapping microscopic elements from the air. The device has fans that draw air from a building and passes it through a series of filters before returning the clean air to the building. Through this process, harmful substances such as mold, volatile organic compounds, bacteria, smoke, dust, and pollen are removed from the air.
In contrast, an air dehumidifier removes excess moisture from the air, hence making sure that the air that you breathe has the right quantity of moisture. It is important to note that high humidity can increase the level of harmful compounds in the air. High indoor humidity also promotes the growth of mold and mildew.
How a 2-in-1 Air Purifier and Dehumidifier Works
A 2-in-1 air purifier and dehumidifier combines the functions of an air purifier and air dehumidifier. That is, the device cleans the air and simultaneously ensures that the air has the right quantity of moisture.
Benefits of a 2-in-1 Air Purifier and Dehumidifier 
A 2-in-1 air purifier and dehumidifier has the following benefits:

Indoor air quality is an important aspect of any home or office. If it is poor, it can cause health problems in people and make it hard to breathe. There are several myths involving indoor air quality, and it is important that you know the truth. Take a look at these three indoor air quality myths:
A strange smell may be a sign of poor indoor air quality. For example, musty smells can indicate the presence of mildew or mold. While it is important to remove the sources of the odor, there are many other things that are odorless and can contribute to poor air quality.
Many people think that air pollution is only outside. However, this is not the case. The air inside your home has come from outside, which means that many of the pollutants that have been moving through the air outside will make their way into your home.
In addition, homes have their own pollutants and air problems. Common problems include bacteria, viruses, pet dander, dust, and mold. All these can be found inside and can cause health problems. In some cases, they can cause serious health issues in people who are at higher risk.
Ventilators can help with poor indoor air quality. They can provide the same amount of fresh air as opening a window. However, many people believe that they will drive up energy costs. There are many available that allow for the exchange of air without driving up energy costs.
One example is the EZ Breathe. This ventilation system helps control indoor air quality and eliminate any pollutants from within the home. It removes polluted air and replaces it with air from outside the building. This system is energy-efficient, so you don’t have to worry about higher costs.
These are just three of the myths surrounding indoor air quality. If you suspect that the air in your home or office is poor, contact a professional for assistance.

The furnace is the last place you’d expect to find mold. After all, mold typically grows on organic surfaces from where it can source its food. However, you shouldn’t completely discount the furnace and other such areas in your home from mold infestations.
The simple truth is that mold can grow almost anywhere in the home. They only need 3 conditions in order to grow:
As long as the three conditions above are met, mold can thrive in any environment. It’s therefore important to invest in professional mold inspection to identify exactly where the infestation is. You may otherwise miss it and end up suffering the health effects caused by the presence of black mold spores.
Mold and your furnace
You may be thinking that your furnace is made of metal. This isn’t an organic material. There’s no way that mold can grow in your furnace. The truth is your furnace provides the perfect environment in which mold can grow and thrive. This is especially true if there are leaks that may be caused by a break in your condensation drain or if the drain is not connected properly. Mold can grow within your furnace without showing any visible signs of its presence from the surface of the furnace. This is a problem that often goes unnoticed until the furnace is opened for routine maintenance.
The problem with a mold infestation in your furnace is that it places you and your household at a higher risk of exposure to mold spores and the toxins they produce. You may begin to notice increased allergic reactions as well as worsened asthma symptoms. You may also exhibit other symptoms of mold exposure such as headaches and the development of a body rash.
The solution
The best way to restore the health and safety of your home is by investing in professional mold inspection and remediation. Inspection ensures that all areas of infestation are identified. These areas will be closed off and procedures for destroying and removing the mold can begin. The infected areas will also be disinfected to prevent a repeat infestation.
Working with a professional ensures that all the mold is removed from your home, even that which is in areas that you would never think of looking in.
