How do I control the dust in an old house?

I have an old house. I know from experience that old houses are just dusty. There is 100 year old hidden dust in every crack and crevice in this house and it does get stirred up!

I don’t have forced air heat, which is a good thing, but I don’t have any carpet at all to catch or collect airborn dust. I have hardwood floors everywhere which makes stirring up the dust very easy.

I dust all the time. I’ve tried ozone generating air purifiers and hated them. I use the vaccume cleaner attachments to suck up dust when I clean.

Any ideas for controlling the dust problem in an old house? Air filters? Hire a live in maid? I’m exhausted, what do I do?

How do I actively fight ozone issues in my lungs?

It’s summer again, and my chest feels like an elephant is balancing there. Ozone days… I hate them so much. I can’t go outside without being in agony.

I don’t have to hear about ozone warnings, as I know the day before they make any announcements. It always occurs the same way, the same amount of time before orange alerts and such. It’s as predictable as the incoming tide.

I spoke to a doctor about this, but she just discounted tropospheric ozone pollution as a possibility and gave me some pointless medication for indigestion. I’m forced to play doctor on myself (again)… this is ridiculous.

I’m reading this Primatene(R) Mist inhaler which says it destroys ozone in the upper atmosphere. Well what about in my inner atmosphere? My fight seems to be with ozone, right here, right now.

Sure I can get all kinds of air purifiers for my home, but I want to leave the house and I’d like to do so without an oxygen tank!

I’m reading up on the chemistry of it all tonight, as I consider trying the inhaler when I’m really bad off to test it out. I hate taking such measures (any medication of any type), and I’d really like to hear from someone who knows more about this.

Any pulmonary specialists out there have any ideas? How do you get your patients through the summer? You hook them up with an oxygen tank, don’t you? I’m not as bad off as some who need that degree of intervention as far as I know. I’m just stuck inside when it’s hot out.

Also, I’m relatively curious about the substances used in the nicotine atomizers. If I got a nicotine-free version, is there any possibility that it might help this? That would be so much easier.

I am not currently under a doctor’s care, giving the appearance of perfect health whatever test you throw at me, I am a 38yr old average build female constantly fighting Fibromyalgia with supplements and lifestyle changes. I’ve gone from not being able to butter a piece of bread to stocking shelves all night without pain killers!

So now I must learn how to fight the ozone induced agony… help!

How do I make my room stop smelling like dust and remove the dust? Any safe, healthy solutions?

I have two dogs and two cats, so I think I know where the dust comes from, but I can’t make my room stop smelling dusty or being dusty no matter how many times I vaccum or clean. I have heard about air purifiers, but some say they produce ozone (eek!) and I was wondering if there is an easier, cheaper alternative. Are there any environmentally friendly and healthy cleaning sprays that actually work?

Help. I'm dating a girl with bad asthma and/or allergies to cigarette smoke and I smoke. What do I do?

I’m at wits end here. I’ve been seeing this girl for over a month and I like her a lot. The problem is she’s developed a bad reaction to smoke…to the point where she hurts for the rest of day, like stomach pains hours after an attack.

The big problem is my roommate and I have been smoking inside our apartment for over a year. I leave my windows open 24/7 and we have an ionic air purifier in the living room. The two times she’s stayed over my place, she was fine at first, but hours later, she’ll be in pain.

Her strong reaction to smoke only became apparent to her when after the second time she stayed over. She’s always disliked smoke because it used to just make her cough and/or tickle her throat, but now bad pain? She’s seen a doctor and she now has an inhaler, but is afraid to use it.

So, she’s afraid to come to my place now. I’ve removed all ashtrays from my room and quit smoking inside. Can smoke ‘stain’ a wall where it still triggers an asthma attack even if no one..
…even if no one has smoked inside for over a week and continues to not smoke inside? If that is true, is there a way to clean my apartment walls so it doesn’t trigger an attack, like burning a nice smelling candle or wiping the walls?
Would an air purifier in my room help out? Which air purifiers are good?

To her and my knowledge, nothing else causes these bad reactions (i.e. dust, pollen, pet hair, saw dust, etc.etc.)
And as far as quitting smoking goes, don’t think that hasn’t popped into my head, but for the matter at hand, if I hypothetically quit smoking right this instant, it still doesn’t help the fact that the inside of my apartment has been smoked in and that my roommate smokes inside. I’m going to talk to my roommate about it. Trust me, I know I am going to have to quit to continue seeing this girl.

Feeling a little sick from mold removal this weekend. What can the doc do for me?

I had a little surprise when I came home from work Friday night and found water coming from under my kitchen cabinets after it had rained really hard. Turns out water has been leaking around my improperly sealed plumbing vent on the roof, and water has been accumulating behind my cabinets. = BLACK MOLD! It was less than 10 sq/ft. The hubby and I wore proper respiration, eye and hand protection to remove it. We also had the rest of the house sealed off and the windows open during removal. Now I have an irritated throat and my nose is stuffy. I have 2 HEPA air purifiers and a dehumidifier going full blast.

Basically, I’m just wondering if I go see my doctor tomorrow, can he do anything for me other than to tell me to take a benadryl? I’m afraid of this sickness getting worse if I don’t treat it. I can’t miss work due to layoffs.

Can you tell me about the Austin Air HealthMate air purifier?

I am interested in buying a couple of Austin Air HealthMate air purifiers – one for my home, and one for my classroom. At 0 each, this is no small investment. They seem to be quality units – but what about the SOUND? Would it be too loud to teach or talk over? Thanks!
