Environmental factors determine whether our bodies flourish or weaken. Two of our body’s basic needs are clean water and clear air. Without them the body can no survive. We must learn to protect ourselves from indoor and outdoor pollutions to maintain a healthy life.
With people spending more and more time indoors, the indoor pollutants must be taken into consideration. Indoor pollution can be caused by many factors. Some examples include, chemicals from cleaning products, toxins in bath and beauty products, tobacco smoke, mold, fungus and mildew. Even outdoor pollutants can assemble in buildings, which are not properly ventilated. Outdoor pollution can come from chemical and gas emissions from vehicles, fires, burning of fossil fuel for energy and so much more.
Either outdoor or indoor pollutants can trigger health conditions. A few minor symptoms that can be the result of poor air quality are headaches, coughing, sneezing, light headedness and irritated/dry eyes. These pollutants can cause toxins to accumulate in the system, leading to diseases like asthma, heart problems and even cancer.
There are steps you can take to reduce your exposure to household pollutants.
- Have a well ventilated home
- Wear a face mask when painting or using home cleaning products. (Although, toxins and chemicals will linger in the air)
- Install a carbon monoxide detector
- Use household products free of harsh chemicals and toxins
Reducing your family’s exposure to air pollution, toxins and chemicals will help to keep you and your family healthy and happy.
