Ventilate the house every day by opening doors and windows!
Overcrowding and a lack of fresh air favor the airborne transmission of viruses and bacteria that can cause disease. The easiest method to ventilate the house is to open doors and windows, if possible opposite, during 15 minutes every day. In winter it is even more important to carry out good ventilation, since we tend to open the house less due to the cold.

Ozone cannot be applied in the presence of people!
Ozone can be used as a biocide (kills viruses and bacteria) to disinfect, but should never be applied with people inside from the premises It is a dangerous substance that can cause adverse effects through the respiratory tract, is an irritant to the skin and causes eye damage. Premises disinfected with ozone must be adequately ventilated before reoccupying them.

In cities we spend 80-90% of the time indoors!
The pollution level in indoor environments is 10-100 times more than outdoors. The main pollution problems inside buildings depend on the activities that take place in these spaces, the health status of the occupants and the characteristics and materials of the building: dust, moisture, mushrooms, tobacco smoke, formaldehyde, radon, ozone, noise, asbestos, etc. Ventilating frequently by opening windows in homes and offices, or by supplying fresh air through ventilation/air conditioning equipment is a very effective measure. It is also highly recommended to frequently remove the dust and dirt of carpets, rugs, etc. by suction and cleaning.

Untreated water can cause diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, etc.!
Poor treatment, storage, distribution or lack of disinfection can lead to water with microorganisms, parasites or unwanted substances. Drinking water is never absolutely pure, it always has dissolved substances, including chlorine as a disinfectant. You can check the quality of water throughout Spain in the National Information System for Drinking Water (SINAC).
