A recent study from Argentina highlights a concern that applies to families everywhere, including in the U.S.. Pesticides are commonly found in household dust, even in homes where residents don’t actively use them. These findings are consistent with research from the U.S. and Europe, showing that indoor environments can harbor pesticide residues for years, often at higher concentrations than what’s found outdoors.

Understanding the impact of indoor allergens on sleep health is vital, based on a 2025 study in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: Global. This research analyzed how bedroom allergen exposure affects sleep quality among 3,399 U.S. adults. It found that allergens like pet dander, fungal spores, and pests, which accumulate in bedding and dust, are linked to sleep disturbances, including trouble sleeping, frequent snoring, sleep disorders, and increased sleep medication use.

If you’ve recently bought an air monitor, or you’re thinking about getting one, congratulations! You’re already ahead of the curve when it comes to caring about the air you breathe. These little devices are fantastic at giving you real-time data: PM2.5 levels, VOCs, humidity, you name it. They’re like a weather station for your indoor world. But here’s the catch. Knowing your air quality is only the first step. What do you do next?

Proactive healthcare is about taking control of your well-being before problems arise and it’s far more effective and affordable than relying on hospitals or insurance to patch things up after a health scare. In 2023, Americans spent an average of $14,570 per person on healthcare, including premiums, deductibles, copays, and out-of-pocket expenses for treatments like hospital care and prescription drugs. Much of this spending comes from preventable conditions like asthma, heart disease, and diabetes. For example, asthma alone costs families an average of $3,266 annually per affected person. Money spent on prescriptions, doctor visits, and hospital stays that could often be avoided with smarter, proactive choices. Nationwide, asthma costs the U.S. economy over $80 billion each year in direct medical expenses and lost productivity.

If you live in a home or apartment that may have previously been occupied by a smoker, this is for you. Recent academic research has highlighted the significance of thirdhand smoke (THS) as a potential health concern for residential properties. THS consists of residual nicotine and other chemicals that remain on indoor surfaces after tobacco smoke has dissipated. These contaminants can persist for extended periods and continue to pose health risks through multiple exposure pathways including skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. This issue is particularly relevant for individuals who have purchased or rented properties previously occupied by smokers.

A 2025 BMJ Oncology study by Roselle De Guzman and Joan Schiller digs into over two decades of research, from 2000 to 2024. It looks at how indoor air pollution affects U.S. homeowners. The findings point to a clear problem: the air inside your home can carry cancer risks.

Every breath you take at home might carry unseen guests, tiny microplastics and chemicals, revealed in a 2025 study from the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology by Joel Rindelaub and Gordon Miskelly. Using a cutting-edge tool called Pyr-GC/MS, they analyzed lab air and found 0.51-1.14 micrograms of microplastics per cubic meter traced to plastics like water bottles (polycarbonate), vinyl flooring (PVC), and plastic bags (polyethylene), all lurking in your home too.

A 2025 study in Indoor Environments by Haverinen-Shaughnessy et al. examines air quality in public buildings and the need for improved regulations1. Key findings include:

You’ve likely seen ads for the home air cleaners, whole home air filtration, or an indoor air quality monitor promising to solve your air woes. Maybe you’re searching for a whole home humidifier or whole house dehumidification to tackle stuffiness. These products sound like a quick fix, don’t they? Here’s the catch: they often address just one piece of the puzzle, leaving you or your family still sneezing, coughing, or battling headaches. At EezyAir, we’ve seen countless homeowners frustrated after investing in an indoor air monitor or home air cleaner, wondering why their symptoms persist. There’s a smarter way: start with a deeper understanding of your home’s air.

This study examines how formaldehyde, a chemical in indoor air, impacts health in homes across China, with key takeaways for U.S. homeowners. Formaldehyde comes from building materials like plywood, particleboard, and furniture, especially in newly renovated spaces.

This study looked at how chemicals in the air inside homes might affect kids and teens, especially when it comes to asthma. These chemicals, found in things like plastics, furniture, toys, cleaning products, and even dust, can mess with the body’s natural balance. For example, chemicals from plastic dust were linked to a 21% higher chance of asthma, while others like arsenic or bisphenols (in water bottles or food containers) could double the risk.

As allergy and asthma season arrives, millions of Americans are bracing for the familiar symptoms of sneezing, wheezing, and itchy eyes. But while outdoor allergens often take the blame, the air inside your home could be secretly exacerbating your discomfort. In fact, indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outdoor air, harboring hidden triggers like dust mites, mold, and VOCs. Discover how a simple yet powerful step, examining your indoor air, can be the key to unlocking a healthier, more comfortable living space. Learn more about the surprising impact of indoor air on your health and how you can take control this allergy season.

As parents, we want the best for our children. A healthy start, a bright future, and the ability to reach their full potential. But what if the air they breathe indoors is quietly hindering their progress? From allergies and asthma to concentration and sleep, poor indoor air can have a surprisingly significant impact on children's lives. Discover recent research and how to create a cleaner, healthier environment for your family.

A 2020 Environment International study reveals that indoor air—where you spend 80% of your time—can be 2-5 times more polluted than outside. Linking poor air to asthma in 1 in 5 kids and higher respiratory threats, the research shows how homes and habits shape health. With just 5-10% of U.S. homes monitoring air, what’s in yours?

At EezyAir, we’re all about uncovering what affects your indoor air, and your health. We don’t test electromagnetic fields (EMFs) yet, there is too much research still unfolding. Here’s what science knows, where EMFs come from, and easy ways to cut exposure, complementing our mission to help you breathe easier.

Back in 1989, NASA teamed up with the Associated Landscape Contractors of America to see if plants could clean up the air for astronauts in sealed, space-bound quarters. What they uncovered is genuinely encouraging, and it’s a perfect jumping-off point for anyone wondering about the air around them. Let’s unpack some key findings and shed light on how plants fit into the bigger picture.

You’ve likely heard air alerts on the news, ozone spikes or smoky days, but what about the air inside your home? It’s where you spend most of your time, so why is indoor air important? The answer lies in its unseen impact on your daily life. Let’s explore why it matters, recognize signs of bad air at home, and understand the effects of poor indoor air that might explain what you’ve been feeling.

You might see ads promising indoor air assessments: mold experts, HVAC pros, or cleaning crews offering to “check your air.” Sounds helpful, right? Here’s the rub. Those assessments often come with a catch. They’re pushing a single fix like mold removal or a new vent system they’re selling. There’s a better way: start with an unbiased look at what’s really going on.
