Many of us experienced it this summer: Smoke from the wildfires out west made it all the way to Indiana, causing hazier skies, a more red-ish looking sun and worse air quality. In fact, Hoosiers were encouraged to stay inside during the last week in June.
We all know that the outdoor air can pose a threat to your health with emissions from cars and industry spewing into the atmosphere.
But is the inside air we breathe actually a safer bet?
