What’s indoor air pollution?
VOCs
Volatile Organic Compounds or VOCs are pollutants emitted as gases in the atmosphere.
Its sources can be solid or liquid (it is a variety of chemicals) with short- and long-term
adverse health effects. The most known are Formaldehyde, Benzene, Toluene…
PM
Particulate mater, aka PM, is a pollutant that affects more people than any other pollutant
in the world. It is impossible to avoid them in our daily life and sometimes we actually
may see them as it is the particles floating in the air, including dusts, pollens and acarids
faeces.
The outdoor particles are mainly due to transportation, industrial plants and pollen.
CO2
All of us have already heard about CO2 (Carbon dioxide) as it is a commun gas constantly
present in our environment.
Although people concern a lot with CO2 levels, its natural sources are mainly plants (that
exhale CO2 at night) and human beings (that exhale it all the time).
The most severe consequences occurs when the activities developed by human beings
make this gas increase in high and dangerous levels lowering the atmosphere capacity to
remove it.
Temperature
Temperature can make a huge difference in our daily lives. Studies proved that it has the
power to influence our physical and emotional conditions (comfort and productivity). But,
besides that, temperature has also a major impact on pollution spread indoor.
As indoor temperature increases, overpassing the threshold (71.6-77°F during summer
and 69.8°F during winter), besides « muqueuse » the inner side of the skin,
the pollutants that are in solid form start their transition into gases impairing our health as
we start inhaling them.
Humidity
Humidity refers to the amount of moisture present in the air. The Relative Humidity (RH) is
the percentage (%) of water vapor in the air at a specific temperature.
Relating it with indoor air pollution: too low humidity increases pollution impact on your
body. Some examples of health effects due to low humidity (usually in winter) are
dry eyes, dry nose, mucous production in respiratory system, increase of infections
and cold, skin irritations (itchy skin).
