Everyone knows the damage to health caused by the polluted air of city streets, but the air quality in our homes is often not a cause for concern. And in vain, because 65% of air pollutants penetrate from the street into our houses and apartments. According to the WHO (World Health Organization), indoor air is 2-5 times dirtier than outdoor air! The air we breathe most of the time while at home is no less dangerous than outside.
How to recognize poor indoor air quality? It is evidenced by low immunity, frequent colds and viral diseases in children, sleep problems, fatigue, and irritability. Polluted air poses the greatest threat to children, as the concentration of inhaled toxins, allergens, and pathogens are much higher for them than for adults. In the cold season, the problem is further aggravated, since the premises are less frequently ventilated.
Poor ventilation together with heating, which dries up the air, creates an ideal breeding ground for viruses and bacteria and also increases the concentration of fine PM2.5 dust in the air. Particles that pollute indoor air are among the most common causes of cancer. A modern man highly appreciates the need to drink clean water and consume organic products, but rarely thinks about what is in the air he breathes.
