Remove all gasoline, pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, fertilizers, paints and thinners. Everything that would vaporize and seep into your house from your attached garage or basement.

Seal off any ducts or vents between your garage and house.

When working in your garden or lawn, remove your shoes before coming indoors.

Seal off exterior walls and do everything possible to minimize moisture in your basement. This dampness is enough to support a healthy growth of mold that can permeate your home. A forced-air heating system can carry spores throughout your home.

Be aware of fermented foods, including mushrooms, that can cross-react with airborne mold spores that trigger allergic reactions.

Make sure your microwave oven is not leaking; a defective microwave creates unhealthy conditions within eight feet.

Make sure there are no freon leaks from your refrigerator.
