Air Quality

There are lots of things and habits to look into when it comes to air quality:
-Does the new house have carpets? Replace them with tile or wood flooring.
-Does the house have a ventilation system? Get it checked and cleaned out.
-Are the windows and doors insulated? Check and make sure they are sealed tight.
-Do you have a air purifier? Make sure you get one with a HEPA filter.
-Clean surfaces with a damp cloth and not a dry one.
-Roll you bed sheets off the bed, dont toss them off as they are major dust collectors.
-Vacuum often. Preferably with a vacuum that has a HEPA filter.
-Get low maintenance plants that improve the air quality.
-Is the house near a highway or other high traffic area. Dust kicked up has a habit of lingering in the air.

Most of those are negative, though I'll have to check the vacuum, it isn't used much now since everything in the new place is hardwood/tile, also interesting point about the bed sheets.

We just found a leak in the roof which buckled floorboards with damp and mold and looks like we need to replace about 8x12ft of floor and 10 feet of wall and ceiling.

I'm probably inhaling mold from that until it's replaced, yeah?

Yeah mold will fuck you up

As long as it's a good HEPA, I suppose.
A lot of those HEPA filters don't have the best filtration. Might be fine for something like a vacuum because all it's doing is preventing large particulate from getting to the motor, but it won't do too much good in a purifier, or even in a furnace unless you really pay out the nose for a good one.

How much does a simple mask help for stuff like mold and dander?
