Moisture control is the secret to healthier indoor air. Here are your three best strategies for improving air quality through moisture control:

• Controlling water, air movement, vapor diffusion, and condensation through proper building strategies for your particular climate. You may want to consult the EEBA Builder's Guide.
• Proper ventilation makes a big difference in diluting contaminants, filtering air, and reducing humidity.
• Using dehumidifiers and other moisture absorbers to maintain a healthy humidity level is a simple and very effective way to improve air quality.

You can turn damp, stagnant air into clean, dry, healthier indoor air by simply dehumidifying your home. Both electric and non-electric dehumidifiers will reduce moisture problems. Some methods can dry out the air too much and cause flaky skin, cracked lips, nosebleeds, etc. The trick for healthy indoor air is to find the right balance. 50% or lower relative humidity is the magic number for optimal comfort and preventing mold.

DampRid Moisture Absorbers maintain an ideal relative humidity by removing excess moisture from the air naturally and automatically to just the right level. DampRid’s calcium chloride crystals automatically absorb excess moisture and musty odors, creating healthier, drier, fresher air.

DampRid works in small enclosed spaces including closets, laundry rooms, bathrooms and many others. Large open areas may need a dehumidifier.
