Have you heard about indoor pollution?
According to the World Health Organisation, 3.8 million deaths are attributed to household air pollution annually.
This household air pollution comes from a variety of gases, chemicals and other substances.
One of the most dangerous types of pollution is smoke, but other indoor air pollutants include mould, building materials, home products, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and naturally occurring gases like radon.
What can we do? Opening your windows is a very simple but effective way of reducing the indoor pollution. Believe it or not, even in big cities, outside air is often cleaner than indoor one.
You can also avoid chemicals at home by using natural cleaning products for example. Easy! 😉
