Do you work or live near active construction? Construction sites, with all of that dust and debris flying around, actually contribute 14.5% of particulate matter in the air, according to a 2022 study by the American Lung Association. To protect yourself when there is active construction, be sure to keep doors and windows closed. Use an air purifier with a HEPA filter, which can remove almost 100% of air particles. And if you or anyone else has been to or near a construction site, leave your shoes outdoors and wash your clothes right away.
