Do Just One Thing

Danny Seo on

The healthiest thing you can do when cleaning your home is dusting. Chemical fire retardants called PBDE are in things like furniture, mattresses and electronics because they keep you safe in case of a fire. But these chemicals can degrade over time, since they are not chemically bonded, and that means the PBDE chemical can end up in the air and settling into dust. When you breathe in dust, you ingest PBDE chemicals, which could lead to health problems like hormone disruption and even cancer. By investing in HEPA products -- from air purifiers to vacuum filters -- and by dusting often with damp rags, you can collect chemical-laden dust and keep it out of your home’s atmosphere.
