Seek out dangers hiding in your home..... You don't have to go overboard.

Cara Hedgepeth • March 6, 2011 USA Weekend

Most of us feel pretty safe in our own homes, but dirty little secrets lurk in every nook and corner that could pose threats to our health.

In their new book, The Healthy Home: Simple Truths to Protect Your Family From Hidden Household Dangers, scheduled for release in a few weeks, father-son team Myron and Dave Wentz "set out to prove that you don't have to be a scientist — or even a cave-dwelling technophobe — to protect your family from the toxic influences found in modern society."

Here are some of their tips:

Park it. After a long drive, park the car outside the garage for an hour or two. Your engine will cool without polluting your garage and living areas.
Air it out. Unwrap and air out dry cleaning before bringing it into the house to reduce exposure to potentially harmful chemicals.
Move it. Move electronics away from the bed when you're going to sleep. Any flash of light can fool your body into thinking night is ending and it's time to wake up.
Open it. Opening the windows for just five minutes a day to refresh the air in your home can get rid of chemicals and pollutants.
