About Clean Air Spaces
Last updated: January 2026
Who We Are
Clean Air Spaces is an independent editorial resource focused on indoor air quality for apartment dwellers and small home residents. We provide practical, evidence-based information to help you make informed decisions about the air you breathe at home.
Why We Created This Site
When we started researching indoor air quality for our own apartments, we found a landscape of contradictory advice, marketing claims disguised as information, and fear-mongering articles designed to sell products. It was hard to find straightforward, practical guidance.
We wanted a resource that:
- Explains concepts simply without dumbing them down
- Distinguishes between what works and what's marketing
- Acknowledges uncertainty instead of pretending everything is definitive
- Respects readers' intelligence and budget constraints
- Focuses on practical actions, not overwhelming lists
Our Approach
Evidence-Based
We base our guidance on published research and established science. When the evidence is mixed or uncertain, we say so. We don't make claims we can't support.
No Fear-Mongering
Indoor air quality matters, but we don't believe in scaring people into buying products. We present information calmly and let you decide what's appropriate for your situation.
No Medical Claims
We're not doctors or health professionals. We don't diagnose conditions or promise health outcomes. For health concerns, consult appropriate medical professionals.
Apartment-Focused
Most air quality advice assumes you own your home and can modify it freely. We focus on what's practical for renters with typical apartment constraints.
