Indoor pollution



Most people spend their time indoors. They are not in safe place away from smokestacks. According to EPA that air inside homes is more polluted than atmosphere.
One of the main sources of indoor pollution is the poorly ventilated or unventilated kitchens. Using wood, coal or dung fires for cooking increasing the risk percentage for young children who can be killed by poisoning smokes. To solve this problem can be as simple as changing this method of cooking with better ventilated cooks stoves, but those stoves are not cheap for poor people. For example in India and China which both have highest population.
About twenty percent of the Americans children struggling with asthma and many types of cancer. They send thousands to hospitals each year and the number is rising. The experts’ advice is to use air filter machines like a portable air cleaner. Purifying the indoor air may reduce the pollution, but how you can know that machine is working whereas a small portable machine can cost around two hundred dollar. Many health experts say those machines are not necessary for most of Americans.
The WHO estimates that 1.6 million deaths per year in developing countries around the world. In brief, house plants maybe the cheapest way to improve indoor air quality. Using two or three house plants in each flat or small house will purify better. Non toxic chemicals cleaning solutions are better to use and safer. Make your home safe place to live.
