Which state in the US has the cleanest air?
Just curious what people think. I live north of Houston, which isn't exactly known for it's air quality.
If you can back your answer with a reference URL or two, all the better. Thanks.

My house is 1800 sf. I have 11 air vents. Just an estimate. And does it help with the air quality?
I just moved into this building and my room unfortunately has no windows. I am worried about the air quality and how to get clean air to circulate the room. Its a lofted room with a makeshift wooden bed and walkway and i dont know how long the wood has been there ( i painted them over with regular paint just to be sure). Its a duplex and all the rooms are in the lower level ( or basement). Its not exactly all stuffy but i do not want to be at risk of moldy air. SHould i get a humidfier ( some say its not good in the summer, as room gets hotter) or an air purifier. I want the room to be well circulated and possibly get some clean air. What should i do?
I had the air ducts cleaned years ago and I was told later by somebody that it actually does not imrove air quality or save any energy costs.
Our HVAC friend recommended that we consider the Trane CleanEffects system. We have terrible allergies (to the point of replacing wall-to-wall with hardwood) and he thinks it's a great system. We currently use Honeywell room purifiers, however they are really loud and my husband hates it. Since Honeywell is a brand I use and trust, I am trying to find out if there are significant performance and cost differences between the two. From what I gather from the Trane marketing material is that the Trane filter is non-porous creating less pressure drop. Beyond that, I don't know what the difference is in air quality or cost. So I guess I have three questions:
What are the performance differences?
What are the cost (unit, installation, filters) differences?
If you use either of these systems in your own home, what do you love/hate about it?
THANK YOU!
I always seem to be sick? I feel like it's coming from my room? Is there a way to check the air quality in my house? Anything i can do to keep the air clean? Thanks.

We moved into a brand new house about 15 months ago. The air ducts near the opening appear to have some dirt, or saw dust in them. Nothing too bad, but it makes me wonder if having our aur ducts cleaned out may help improve the AC and even the air quality. How often should I have a professional come out and clean the ducts?
Do they really make a difference in the air quality, etc?

I have strong allergies and need all the help I can get. I truly like Roomba but need a bit more air quality.

I live in the city and there the air quality is usually pretty bad here. I am looking to purchase an air purifier that will help filter out as many of the dangerous impurities in the air as possible. I have about a 0 budget, any recommendations on what make and model that I should purchase?
