01.03.2024 07:28

The ideal option would be to ventilate the room every 1.5-2 hours, leaving the windows open for 10-20 minutes.

But it is worth noting that these indicators change depending on weather conditions, wind direction and the size of the room.

For example, in the cold season, you can reduce the ventilation time, and on hot days, leave the windows open longer if it is possible to provide an influx of fresh air.

It is especially important to pay attention to the air quality in bedrooms and children's rooms, as a lack of oxygen can lead to feelings of fatigue and headaches.

In addition, when airing, it is worth following a number of universal rules.

1. To ensure optimal ventilation, open windows as much as possible. A vertical window may not be enough to provide fresh oxygen.

2. If your apartment has a linear layout with windows facing one side, open the door and create a draft to increase air flow.

3. When airing, try not to sit directly in the air flow. Move to another room or go outside during airing.

4. The best time for airing is early morning and late evening. If you live near a highway, this will help reduce the amount of harmful substances in the air.

5. Be careful and limit access of children and pets to open windows.
