Let there be sunlight!

For those who cherish their privacy, consider this: breathing is precious, too.

So throw open those daytime blinds and let the sunshine in!  You’d be surprised what a difference this can make in air quality.

Teeny weeny microbes live on teensy weensy dust particles.  These critters (like so many larger ones) prefer multiplying within the privacy of darkness.  Closed blinds therefore

foster up to 12 percent more of the little guys than transparent windows do.

Not only that, secretive microbes tend to be more virulent than sunny ones.  Operating within the cover of dimness, they head straight for human lungs.
