Indoor air pollution poses serious health risks as people spend 90% of their time indoors. Sources of indoor pollution include household products, furnishings, smoking, cooking, and building materials. Pollutants like asbestos, carbon monoxide, radon gas, and lead can cause both short-term symptoms like irritation and fatigue as well as long-term diseases like asthma, cancer, and heart disease. Reducing indoor pollution involves controlling moisture, properly ventilating homes, regularly cleaning and maintaining heating/cooling systems, limiting chemical exposures, and avoiding smoking.
We fail to see how polluted the air that we breathe is. The reason behind this is that most of the air pollutants are not visible to the naked eye. One such pollutant is particulate matter (PM). Particulate air pollution is a mixture of solid, liquid or solid and liquid particles suspended in the air. Several components, like acids (sulphates and nitrates), organic chemicals, metals, and soil or dust particles, constitute particle matter. The particles vary in size, composition and origin, and are categorized into coarse, fine and ultrafine. Coarse particles also referred to as PM 10, are 2.5 to 10 micrometre in diameter

Air pollution – be it indoors or outdoors – is a major environmental health concern as it can lead to serious health effects, such as respiratory diseases, including asthma and lung cancer.
Much progress has been made in Europe in improving outdoor air quality and limit values have been set for several pollutants. However, indoor air quality also requires attention because this is where we spend most of our time.

Flood Cleanup: Avoiding Indoor Air Quality Problems - Fact Sheet via EPADry Wizard Restoration
During a flood cleanup, the indoor air quality in your home or office may appear to be the least of your problems. However, failure to remove contaminated materials and to reduce moisture and humidity can present serious longterm health risks. Standing water and wet materials are a breeding ground for microorganisms, such as viruses, bacteria, and mold. They can cause disease, trigger allergic reactions, and continue to damage materials long after the flood.
Below is the list of some of the most common and easily available plants which are Natural air Purifiers. One can easily find these plants in the plant nurseries and get them planted in their homes in a plant pot. These pots then can be placed indoors for filtering the air.
Air pollution occurs when harmful substances including particulates and biological molecules are introduced into Earth's atmosphere. It may cause diseases, allergies or death in humans; it may also cause harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops, and may damage the natural or built environment. Human activity and natural processes can both generate air pollution.
Rapid industrialization is affecting our environment largely and some of the metals like lead are really hazardous. So, Aludecor is taking its step towards helping the nature to be green and saving the society from deadly diseases by manufacturing lead Free Aluminium Composite Panel. Now you do your Part!!

Indoor Air Pollution and Effects on Environmentijtsrd
Indoor pollution is degradation of indoor air quality by harmful chemical and other materials it are often up to 10 times worse than outdoor pollution. This is because contained areas enable potential pollutants to create up quite open spaces. Statistics suggest that in developing countries, health impacts of indoor pollution far outweigh those of outside pollution. Indoor pollution from solid fuels accounted for 3.5 million deaths and 4.5 global daily adjusted life year DALY in 2010 it also accounted for 16 particulate pollution. Over 80 of time for most people is generally spend indoor environments, so that the influence of building structures, surfaces and ventilation on important considerations when evaluating air pollution exposures. Indoor air pollution happens when certain air pollutants from pieces and gases contaminate the air of indoor surroundings. These air pollutants can cause breathing diseases or even cancer type of pollution is significantly more harmful due to how concentrated the is in indoor environments. Objective of this paper to study the indoor air pollution effect the environment. G.

Remove indoor pollutants with best air purifier in indialeelindesy
The best air purifier in India helps in taking out allergens, deadly combinations, and obvious dangerous poisons. This article explains why people use air purifiers, how they work, which is the purifier for your home.
Bad air indoors is as much of a problem as outdoor air pollution. But there are easy ways to ensure the air we breathe is clean and safe.
Outdoor air has gone from bad to very nasty in recent years. Indeed, the millions of deaths each year due to air pollution suggest that the problem could be more serious than COVID-19. Worse, however, is the fact that the air inside homes and offices can be just as hazardous to human health.
Thankfully, there are simple solutions to improve the quality of air indoors — with HomePure Zayn.
Many types of mold can exist in properties, both residential and commercial. One of which is black mold, a toxigenic mold that causes severe health problems in children and adults.
For that reason, removing it and preventing its growth should be a priority for everyone.

In this ppt you will get to know about the pollution, their types, detailed view on each type and also their causes and effects or impacts and also the measures to reduce the pollution.
2. Indoor Pollution
All of us have to go out for our day-to-day activities and
most of us worry about the risks our health is exposed
to due to the severe pollution outside. Well, most of
these “pollution risks” are simply unavoidable and to
choose to stay at home is again simply impossible. For
those who prefer to stay indoors due to the pollution
outdoors, may be surprised to learn that researchers
have discovered that the air inside your home can be
much more polluted than the air outside. If this kind of
pollution is not properly managed it can lead to serious
health hazards. And this is a problem which can be
grave in nature as we spend 90% of our time indoors;
it may be in the office, in our home or in the car.
3. Indoor Pollution
The sources of this pollution can be manifold - for
example household products, furnishings, wet or
moist walls, ceiling, carpets, poorly maintained
humidifiers and dehumidifiers, bedding, household
pets, interior building materials, contaminated or
complicated ventilation systems, improperly placed
outdoor air intakes, moisture or standing water,
heating and air conditioning equipment, smoking,
cooking, house cleaning products and so on and so
forth. Then there are the biological pollutants which
make their way in many homes such as animal
dander, pollen, fungi, cockroaches, dust mites,
mildew, moulds, plants, bacteria, and viruses.
4. Indoor Pollution
Unknown to many, Asbestos is a major interior pollutant. Found
in many products such as roofing and flooring materials, wall
and pipe insulation, cement, coating materials, heating
equipment, textured paints etc. Carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and nitrogen dioxide all of them poisonous are
released through cooking heating systems which are not
properly ventilated. Radon gas comes from uranium containing
soil surrounding the house. It can enter the home through any
openings or cracks in the foundation floors, walls, drains, or
joints. Environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) is a major source of
indoor air contaminant because it contains carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde, and many other gases and particles. Lead is also
known to be a harmful pollutant especially in the cases of
children. We may be exposed to lead: through air, drinking
water, food, contaminated soil, deteriorating paint, and dust.
5. Indoor Pollution
Needless to say that these pollutants can adversely affect our health.
Symptoms can be seen soon after exposure or even years after.
Some common signs include irritation of eyes, nose, throat,
headaches, skin irritation, dizziness, or fatigue. While some exposures
may lead to certain diseases like visual disorders, memory
impairment, asthma, hypersensitivity, humidifier fevers, influenza and
other infectious diseases. Some effects are similar to that of a
common cold or a viral problem that may make it all the more difficult
to determine the pollutant. The more severe diseases which may be
fatal occur after a long period and repeated exposures are respiratory
diseases, heart diseases, cancer etc. For example, lead affects all
systems within the body. At high levels it can cause convulsions,
coma and even death.
The good part is by being more careful and altering our lifestyle a bit
we can lead a healthy life with as little pollution as possible. If we are
cautious enough, our indoors may not be 100% pollution free but we
can be certain that our health will be safe from any serious damage.
6. Indoor Pollution
There are ways to reduce pollution indoors. The first step of course
would be to be more vigilant. The next would be to keep the house
clean. House dust mites, pollens, animal dander, and other allergy-
causing agents can be reduced, although not eliminated, through
regular dusting and cleaning. Good ventilation and maintenance play
important roles to keep interior air pollution in control. Ventilation can
be increased through installation and use of exhaust fans especially in
kitchens and bathrooms. If that is not possible open your windows to
let the outside air in. Moisture control is a key factor in controlling
pollution. Moulds, mildews and dust mites grow and increase in moist
environment. Ventilate the attic and crawl spaces to prevent moisture
build up. Empty water trays in air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and
refrigerators frequently. Heating and air conditioning system should be
well maintained and filters should be changed on a regular basis.
Please do remember to keep your carpets and doormats clean and
dry. Try to use exposures to household chemicals such as methylene
7. Indoor Pollution
chloride and benzene to a minimum. Perchloroethylene is
another chemical which we need to be careful about. It is
most widely used in dry cleaning. Studies indicate that
people breathe low levels of this chemical both in homes
where dry-cleaned goods are stored and when they wear
these clothes. This chemical causes cancer in animals.
Discourage smoking and quit smoking yourself. Smoke
combined with radon is a serious health risk. And of course
do not forget to eat and drink nutritious food and clean water.
Given above is just a birds' eye view on the whole context of
Indoor Pollution. Considering the amount of time we spend in
closed surroundings it is of primary importance that we learn
to deal with the issue. Let us therefore start off by keeping
our surroundings and our homes as clean, dry and hygienic
as possible.
