A healthy indoor
environment is
crucial for our well-being
and health. Actually,
the weight of the
air we inhale
indoors is greater
than the total
weight of all the
food and drink we
consume in our
lifetime. In today's
world, indoor air
pollution is two to
five times higher
than air pollution
of the outdoor
variety. Several
investigations
indicate that our
poor indoor climate
may be the cause of
the many cases of
respiratory diseases
found today.
We breath
approximately 20,000 times
per day and fill our lungs
with an average 13 m³ of air. Research has shown that
there is approximately
250-300 mg. of fine dust
particles in every 1 m³ of
air in our homes. In other
words, we breathe
approximately 4 grams of
pure dust into our lungs
every day without noticing
it. Research conducted on
the matter also shows that
the dust in our homes is
many times more hazardous
than that which is found
outside and that we spend
most of our time in our
homes. What have we done
until now to rid ourselves
of the dust in our homes? |
