How might the increased use of insulation in a home affect air pollution?

stiv31 [10]

Increased use of insulation in a home is very useful when it comes to having a better quality air in the home. With proper insulation, lots of the things that can cause an air pollution are neutralized. Dust and other pollutants are stopped on the filters and they can not get inside, thus allowing you to have a better quality air indoors.
