In recent years Indoor pollution has become a major health concern. According to some studies Indoor air quality can be more harmful than outside which include hazardous airborne pathogens, dust, toxic gases, cigarette smoke and other volatile organic compounds. Unfortunately we inhale about a 5-10 tablespoons of these airborne particles every day.
These harmful gases can damage your lungs as well as your immune system, which can lead to several other health conditions. It affects different age group differently. Generally children and old age people are susceptible to so many health issues because of contaminated indoor air.
Key factors associated with Indoor air quality
Some of the common factors associated with Indoor Air quality are as follows:
- Tobacco smoke – From both an indoor air quality and health perspective, smoking is very harmful (even for non-smokers) because it produces copious amounts of both harmful gases and particles.
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)- VOCs include a range of evaporated substances emitted by building materials and furnishings (such as furniture and carpets), gasoline from the garage, pesticides, and even cooking processes, these includes formaldehyde, which are very harmful for respiratory system.
- Stagnant air- Lack of air movement occurs when an air mass remains over an area for an extended period. It is very strongly correlates with poor air quality.
- Combustion Products– Gas-fired appliances, including furnaces, water heaters, ranges, and some dryers, produce carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrous oxides, and water vapor.
- PM 10 and PM 2.5- Particulate matter is always in the news as winters approach and the reason is these pollutants get locked as the air becomes cold and the air pressure pushes these particles down which creates the effect of smog. The size of 2.5 micron and 10 micron is very troubling for people as it disturbs the respiratory tract and causes multiple health issues.
