INDOOR AIR POLLUTION on HEALTH

 Indoor Air Pollution on our health!!  

Why is there this sudden attention to #IndoorHealth?                                    Why has #IndoorAirQuality earned a bad name? and now lbelled as        #INDOORAIRPOLLUTION. #IndoorAir Quality refers to the quality of indoor air within all people occupied space. Be it home, office, malls, gyms, hospitals and even in schools or vehicles. 

#Airquality within people occupied space has deteriorated so very much, that the commonest of expressions is that #indoorair is up to ten times or more worse off than the #outdoorair. Why has this become of concern? This is so because indoor air quality has a parallel relationship with health, well being and  generally the comfort of indoor occupants. 

If we choose to know, to understand and decide to practice control and initiate preventive measures,  

we can reduce a variety of indoor health related 

risks. What had been due a long time ago, needs doing urgently today to bring about a healthier life and living. 

Life would be better if we deliberately choose to realise this not seen but existing truth. Better acted upon than to regret. Better to correct and prevent worsening effects on health. 

Do we know or realise that there are enough immediate effects from indoor air pollution. Some effects may not be so immediate, while some others may show upon us, many years later.  

Immediate Effects

Have you not walked into a room or indoor space, and become uncomfortable. Have you not started sneezing, or had a runny nose? Did you suddenly start to  scratch and that urge kind of spread all over the body? Has your eyes become  teary? Sometimes after being several hours indoors, a feeling of tiredness or lethargy begins to dominate you. These are common and there are more. Have you not said, "let's step ou for some fresh air". That is your body calling you to.  

The above are short term immediate effects of polluted indoor space on health. These are examples of short term single exposures to air borne indoor air pollutes. Irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat are the commonest. A head ache, or feeling dizzy could come about. These are easily treatable. The easiest way is to step out. The moment you step out into outdooe air, all those symptomatic reactions disappear. Just that avoidance of exposure to indoor air was the first remmedy. There are also cases where wheezing suddenly comes about for persons with inherent asthma. Asthma got triggered. 

Many factors trigger reactions to indoor air pollutes. Nil exposure to very polluted air. Age factor maybe another. Poor, weak or preexisting medical status of respiratory health could also react to poor indoor air. What about sensitivity to allergens and those with poor immunity. Sometimes it is the chemical gaseous pollutes in the air. Any form of poor tolerances can aggravate.  

Do pay attention when such symptomatic reactions surfaces. If the symptoms fade, go away or disappears when not in that given area, choose to identify the causes. Coorect or remove the causes. Make an effort to test indoor air of its source. Also cause for increased indoor air pollutes, is the lack of supply of outdoor air coming indoors. Incoming air helps dilute the content of the existing indoor air. Air flow and air exchange is important. Open all windows, twice or thrice daily. Practice air ventilation.  

Be regular with #aircleaning. Home indoors, #BEDROOM & #Mattresscleaning is as good a weekly must. Unbelievable dust and pollutes content have accumulated indoors and need to be rid or reduced. Check. Correct home indoor reality. #INDOORAIR & #POLLUTION hurts slowly.
