Burning out good health in indoor toxic boxes

Indoor air pollution is just as important as outdoor pollution

15-May-2019

Key points from article :

Frying food and burning wood turn homes into “toxic boxes” with high levels of indoor air pollution.

Tiny particles can enter the bloodstream and flow around the body into vital organs.

More problematic if children spend more time indoors inside these toxic boxes.

Sources of other indoor pollutant are boilers, heaters and irritant chemicals from cleaning products.

Urgent action is needed to address this issue of indoor air pollution.

Opening a window when cooking and using the wood-burner less frequently can help reduce this.

Case studies commissioned by the environment charity Global Action Plan.
