Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is on everyone's mind as we spend more time inside our homes. EPA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have guidance for states & territories, tribes, and local governments (including public health agencies), homeowners, business owners, schools, and others to address questions about risks, exposures and protection from COVID-19.
Examples of Frequent Questions about Indoor Air and Coronavirus (COVID-19):
- Will an air cleaner or air purifier help protect me and my family from COVID-19 in my home?
- Can running the HVAC system in my home help protect me from COVID-19?
- Will an Ozone Generator protect me and my family from COVID-19?
Answers to these questions and more about indoor air and COVID-19 can be found here. Each FAQ includes links to additional information for managing IAQ in your home and relevant CDC guidance to help protect yourself and your family from COVID-19.
