Small study finds dogs may impact indoor air quality
(ABC36 NEWS NOW) – A new study is shedding light on how dogs may affect indoor air quality.
The small study, published in a report from the American Chemical Society’s journal Environmental Science & Technology, found that pets can release more particles into indoor air than humans.
Researchers say dogs can also track bacteria and fungi from outside into the home.
The study tracked emissions from seven dogs to measure how pets influence indoor air conditions.
Scientists say the research is limited but could help guide future studies. Researchers plan to examine emissions from other indoor pets in upcoming research.
