Why Is Indoor Air More Polluted Than The Air Outside?

Recently, I've just completed a website project for a client who deals in air purifier and circulator.

From the information they gave me, I found that even Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says the level of indoor air pollution is, on occasion, 100 times greater than outside air!

Come on, how could this be?

But well, EPA says this. In fact, The World Health Organisation (WHO) has also supported this fact.

Then, I went about asking around and doing some research.

What I found out is - when you're in an enclosed room, meaning, the air in that room remains inside, it is indeed possible that it is more polluted.

Electrical appliances release chemicals into the air when in use.

Pollution from the outside, e.g. dust etc comes in and 'settle' happily in the room.

You get someone to sneeze or cough in your room, and the germs, bacteria, virus (better not be H1N1) will remain in the room until it 'expires'.

Other than indoor pollution - there's odor.

Odor is caused by bacteria. Thus, by just using air freshener alone, it's just mask the odor temporary.

You'll have to solve the root cause - removing the bacteria. Otherwise, it's only temporary and may be even more dangerous!

As someone who teaches other about the importance of breathing and air, I know I must share this information with people.

Go get a decent air purifier. (Alright, I'm not advertising for my client, OK?)

I'll be getting one for myself soon. And well, I'd probably getting Blueair air purifier, which is represented by my client in my country.

And if you'd like to know more about air purification information, you can have a look at my client's website: Air Purifier and Cirulator Dealer

Til then, have a great breathe today!
