A member asked:
Does airing the room for 20 minutes at night before closing all windows and doors help decrease indoor air pollution the same amount as having the windows open all night?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not. Adding a fan to increase airflow during the process could add its effectiveness. Either way it may be effective enough to accomplish your goal of decreasing indoor particulate pollution.
