Air Quality Awareness Week 2025:

In celebration of Air Quality Awareness Week 2025 (May 5–9), the LTBB Environmental Services Program encourages community members to take part in a self-guided activity focused on improving the air inside our homes. The LTBB Indoor Air Quality Home Checklist is a simple and practical tool designed to help you identify common sources of indoor air pollution and take small steps to create a healthier living environment.

The checklist covers five key areas:

• General Air Quality Habits – Consider your cleaning routines and use of household products.
• Ventilation & Fresh Air – Check if fresh air is circulating and if exhaust systems are functioning properly.
• Mold & Moisture Control – Look for signs of dampness or mold and address moisture problems.
• Allergen & Dust Reduction – Assess cleaning routines, pet care, and dust control efforts.
• Healthy Air Enhancements – Explore options like air-purifying plants and non-toxic candles for cleaner indoor air.

From checking for mold and improving airflow to switching to low-toxicity cleaning products, this activity helps raise awareness of how our everyday choices can impact the air we breathe indoors. It’s an easy way to support your family’s health while honoring noodin (air).

There’s no need to submit anything, just use the checklist at your own pace to reflect, make improvements, and promote cleaner air in your home.

See below for the Indoor Air Quality Home Checklist and start exploring ways to create a healthier home.
