Ventilation
Ventilation The process of bringing outdoor air inside a home or building to dilute, replace, or circulate the existing indoor air. Such air may or may not be conditioned. Ventilation is one strategy employed to reduce, not eliminate, airborne pollutants. For example, cleaning chemicals generally evaporate and can be quickly diluted by increasing ventilation in the home.
