Your Windows and Indoor Air Quality
In thinking about what we might discuss today for some reason windows came to my mind. Windows? Yes, I decided to open mine for a little while today. Winter can cause us to shut everything up tight. It can start to feel dark, dreary even claustrophobic. True enough. But, honestly having everything shut up so tightly can also take its toll on our indoor air quality. As we’ve discussed so many times the air indoors can be considerably more polluted than the outdoor air. If you seem to hanging on to that cold or your allergies seem to be worse than usual or your asthma is acting up, it could be that you need to freshen the air a bit. Let’s open the windows!
I know what you are thinking. Am I crazy? It’s February! Yes, it is and no I’m not. Just throw open a window or two for five or ten minutes everyday. Make it a habit. See if the quality of the air you are breathing doesn’t improve. What do you have to lose? Perhaps a cold or a sneeze or cough or two. Just give it a try. I actually keep one of the upstairs windows in my home open just a couple of inches most everyday. Our indoor air stays quite good (as long as I’m changing filters and maintaining the system etc.)

What, if i’ll use the humidifier with essential oils, can my room be polluted of this?

Depends on your definition of polluted. If the essential oils are organic and are for health purposes and don’t cause any irritation I believe you are fine. Be sure to keep your humidity levels at a safe range as well. Too much or too little humidity can also cause issues.
