How Indoor Air Pollution in Your Home Raises Cancer Risk: Key Findings from BMJ Oncology 2025
Most people associate cancer risk with smoking or outdoor pollution. A 2025 review in BMJ Oncology adds another location to that list: the inside of your home. The study, which covers 24 years of research, found that benzene and formaldehyde from everyday items like cleaning sprays, paints, and new furniture are linked to lung cancer risk even in non-smokers. Long-term VOC exposure was also associated with an 8% higher breast cancer risk, and benzene from household sources was tied to leukemia risk in children. If you've never thought much about what's in your indoor air, this research makes a case for starting.

What Research Tells Us About Wildfire Smoke Inside Schools
A 2025 study measured PM2.5 levels inside real schools during wildfire smoke events and found that air quality varied significantly from room to room in the same building. Outdoor AQI readings do not capture what is happening indoors. Here is what the research found and why it matters for families across the US.
Research Summary: Association between airborne endocrine disrupting chemicals and asthma in children
The dust settling in your home may contain more than you'd expect. A new study examining airborne endocrine disrupting chemicals found associations between common household compounds and asthma risk in children. Phthalates from soft plastics were linked to a 21% higher risk, while bisphenols and arsenic showed associations with roughly double the risk in some cases. Flame retardants, found in furniture and electronics, were also flagged. The researchers note that more studies are needed, but the early picture points to everyday materials as a meaningful piece of the asthma puzzle for kids.
Your Range Hood Could Be One of the Best Things for Your Kids' Health
A 2025 peer-reviewed study found that two simple cooking habits, using back burners and turning on your range hood, can significantly lower indoor air pollution from gas stoves. Here's what US families need to know, and how to protect the air your kids are breathing at home.
Indoor Allergens and Sleep Health: How Pet Dander, Mold, and Pests Impact Your Rest
If you share your bed with a pet or wake up congested, a 2025 study might explain why. Research published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology analyzed bedroom allergen levels from 3,399 U.S. adults and found that nearly 4 in 10 had elevated pet allergens in their sleeping space, with dust mites close behind at 38.5%. Both were associated with sleep disturbances ranging from frequent snoring to sleep disorder diagnoses. The findings suggest your bedroom air is worth a closer look, especially if you've already ruled out the usual suspects.
Research Summary: Health risk assessment of indoor formaldehyde exposure
Formaldehyde is one of the most common indoor air chemicals, and most homeowners have no idea it's there. A health risk assessment spanning 11 cities found that bedroom levels can run nearly 1.7 times higher than living rooms, and that infants face roughly 2.8 times the exposure risk of adults due to their body size and developing systems. The good news: material choices during renovation or furnishing can reduce estimated cancer risk by 62-78%. Here's what the research says, and what it means for U.S. homes.
Understanding Indoor Air Quality: Why It Matters for Your Family
If your family is still sneezing after buying an air purifier, you're not alone. Most homeowners try one product at a time and wonder why nothing fully works. The reason: poor indoor air quality is rarely a single problem. Mold, VOCs, humidity imbalances, and poor ventilation often coexist in the same home, and a device built to tackle one won't touch the others. Before spending more on equipment, it's worth understanding what's actually going on. That's where a full indoor air assessment changes the game.
Is Your Air Freshener Making Mold More Dangerous?
New research shows that common air fresheners and household mold can combine to create health risks far greater than either one alone. Here's what US homeowners need to know about their indoor air.

You might see ads promising indoor air assessments: mold experts, HVAC pros, or cleaning crews offering to “check your air.” Sounds helpful, right? Here’s the rub. Those assessments often come with a catch. They’re pushing a single fix like mold removal or a new vent system they’re selling. At EezyAir, we see folks still coughing or tired after those one-off solutions, wondering why the problem lingers. There’s a better way: start with a closer look at what’s really going on.
