Doctor’s respond to thousands of Patients.

It’s a fact that we spend 90% of our time indoors and the indoor air certainly is 10 to 15 times more polluted than outdoors. Our home brings the outdoor air inside, which is already contaminated. We do a lot of activities inside our homes like spraying hair, using air fresheners, frying food, burning candles and cleaning using chemicals, which adds on additional pollution inside. A lot of this pollution remains inside sealed if your homes are not properly ventilated.

Among the potential environmental contributors for diseases, air pollution is the most critical one. Doctors respond to thousands of patient’s queries daily with long unexplainable diseases to which they have no answer.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), it is not solely the chronic diseases about which we need to worry about. Particulate matter is a great matter of concern these days since it is related to premature death in individuals with heart or respiratory organ illness, heart attacks, irregular heartbeat, aggravated respiratory illness, decreased lung function and increase respiratory symptoms. In 2012, World Health Organization (WHO) has estimated that 2.6 million individuals died due to poor indoor air quality

By having closed homes, we are reducing our energy value, however increasing our health issues. Wake up; if you are facing any fatal symptoms, this is the right time to check your indoor air quality.

Exposure to Air pollution:- ‘A cause of Autism and Schizophrenia’

Exposure to ambient air pollution is a serious and common public health concern associated with growing morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the last decades, the adverse effects of air pollution on the pulmonary and cardiovascular systems have been well established.

Recently, a new study from the University of Rochester Medical Center describes how exposure to air pollution early in life produces neurological disorder in the brain, including an enlargement of part of the brain that is seen in humans having autism and schizophrenia. It explains the elevated levels of glutamate, a neurotransmitter. Such children demonstrate traits like abnormal behavior patterns, restricted social behavior and impaired verbal communication.

When air particulate matter and their components such as metals are inhaled or swallowed, they pass through damaged barriers including the blood-brain barriers leading to long-lasting harmful effects.

There are a range of interventions that could be used for improving air quality standards in your buildings like opting for proper heating, ventilating, air-conditioning (HVAC) system designed with filters with a minimum efficiency reporting value. Also, Quality IEQ through Good Design, Construction, Renovation and O&M Practices taking care of the standards that should at least meet or exceed ASHRAE Standard 62.1: Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality for reducing humidity indoors.

Climate change threatens air quality

After years of dependence upon fuels for our requirements that throw a heavy amount of chemicals into the atmosphere, we can find ourselves completely draped in dirty air. The emission of huge amount of gases into the atmosphere called the ‘Green house gases’ are causing a climate disruption. These gases warm up earth’s surface temperature and are causing a major alteration in global climate.

Climate change and air quality are closely coupled. Processes such as fossil fuel burning causes emission of wide range of pollutants including particulate matter, ozone, the key ingredients of smog, nitrogen oxides, sulphur oxides, volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide. The same processes also release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, Methane, nitrous oxide etc.Climate change has a direct impact on air quality. Most of the actions needed to reduce the emission of green house gases will also reduce air pollution. In order to avoid worsening the associated health problems, indoor air quality has to be purified. Magneto Environmental Grouppe’s Cold plasma technology (CPT) and Photo Hydro Ionized Oxidation (PHIO⁺)are the new age purification technologies that purify the air as well as surfaces.
