For this post, I will look into indoor air pollution. Activities that occur indoor that emit pollutants into our air. Its effects and some solutions.

The thing we used at home we need to be aware if it’s emitting any pollutants. Firstly, the most common and the most dangerous we have seen around is smoking. The cigarettes burned release harmful toxins that will be inhaled by those in the same household. The most vulnerable would be kids. They may develop early asthma or more serious respiratory illness if they constantly inhale the particulate from cigarettes.  Secondly in some countries that still use coal for fuel to cook and warm themselves. It emits pollutants as seen from powerplants such as carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxides. Thirdly, molds, bacteria, viruses that may be brought into our house can actually grow in a humid environment and affect us. Fourth, is the perfumes we uses may contain volatile chemicals that will stay indoor. Lastly not only the perfumes we used the pesticides we used might be harmful too.

Just as harmful as outdoor pollution, indoor air pollution is equally harmful and to some more harmful depending on the size and number of people living together.

Therefore, some solutions would be, firstly grow some plants. Plants can help to purify the air from the carbons and other harmful air particles. secondly, If you are smoker try to stop smoking or at least dont smoke at home. And please! Dont even smoke along your corridors as that will efect your neighbours. Thirdly. ventilate your house regularly. These will help to release the trap pollutants indoor. Lastly, clean your house regularly. We cant see the bacteria or viruses therefore we can just play safe by doing regularly cleaning.

So please be aware that even though we are indoor we may still be expose to pollutants and here are some way we can avoid it
