A sink faucet has what is called
an 'Aerator' in the water spout.
The aerator's job is to mix air and
water for a nice smooth flow of
water coming out of your faucet.
This is where your problem lies.
This repair can be quick and
easy—as long as you take care to
properly reassemble any of the
intricate pieces and parts.

The American Lung Association of Nevada warns that levels
of hazardous pollutants can be
higherindoorsthanoutdoon;. As
part of Clean Air Month, the
Lung Association is offering tips
on how to keep your home
healthy.
"Many indoor air pollutants
can irritate and scar the lungs,"
said John Hoick, executive director of the American Lung
Association of Nevada. "Things
that you can take for granted as
normal in the air can actually
lead to lung disease, which is the
third leading cause of death in
America," he explained. "Air
pollution is a contributor to lung
disease and almost everyone
experiences some type of indoor
air pollution."
The Lung Association recommends the following tips to keep
the air in your home healthy:
•Don't allow smoking in your
home. Even second-hand smoke
can cause cancer. Ask smokers
to smoke outdoors.
•Good ventilation reduces indoor air pollution. Leave doors
between rooms open most of the
time for air circulation. Leave
some windows partially open
when possible to allow for a
good .supply of fre.sh outdoor air.
Install exhaust fans in bathrooms
to remove moisture and chemicals from personal care products
(e.g., hair spray) to the outside.
•Fit gas ranges with hood fans
that exhau.si outside use the fan
oropcn a window while cooking
for proper vcniilalion.
•Clean air conditioners, humidifiers, and any home air filtration system regularly.
•Radon is a colorless, odorless
gas that can cau.sc cancer. Test
for radon levels in your home.
Test kits arc available at hardware stores and should say
"Meets EPA Requirements" on
the package or is EPA listed.
•Check commercial cleaning
products for toxic ingredients;
make certain your home is well
ventilated if using loxicclcaning
agents.
•Use alternative household
cleaning products foi many
commercial cleaning products,
which may contain ammonia,
chlorine, and other chemicals.
Check with your local Lung
Association for suggested substitutes.
•Never leave a car or law
mower engine running in an attached shed or garage, or any
enclosed space.
