Air Pollution Facts
Information on indoor pollution, and how to fight it

Interested in air pollution facts? Here's one of the biggest and most surprising facts: indoor air tends to be two to ten times dirtier than general environmental air. It's true -- and air pollution indoors is approaching the level of a worldwide epidemic. Smoking is a major source of indoor environmental pollution, but we can't blame the quality of indoor air all on smokers, either: indoor air quality is affected by a wide range of other particulate matter as well such as:

• Pet dander
• Dust
• Dust mites
• Bacteria
• Viruses
• Construction materials
• Pollen, and spores

Indoor air pollution and your health

Respiratory health is important, and it's one aspect of quality health that most people pay little attention to -- unless they're asthmatics or have emphysema, or suffer from another malady that makes it hard to breathe. All the information available suggests that this is increasingly the case among residents of industrialized nations. The facts and statistics regarding respiratory diseases are shocking, and the truth is that you needn't have one of these maladies to come down with a nasty respiratory condition. All it takes to make the quality of your home's air plunge is an overabundance of environmental contaminants. Sure, you're tough, but given too much mold, bacteria, or industrial poisons, your health can suffer greatly.
