Healthy air

World Health Organization (WHO) warns that 92% of people worldwide breathe polluted air. You have heard many times that during the time of increased level of harmful substances concentration, it is worth not leaving closed rooms – houses, offices, schools or kindergartens, etc. However, this does not mean that the pollution does not penetrate through the walls of the buildings. What’s more, numerous studies show that the level of indoor pollution can be up to 10 times higher than outside.

WHO informs that:

• 9 out of 10 people in the world breathe polluted air,
• almost 700,000 children under five die each year as a result of air pollution,
• one of the most harmful substances for human health is the so-called particulate matter (PM),
• air pollution is recognized as the greatest environmental threat to human health.

Według danych Ministerstwa Środowiska w Polsce rocznie na skutek chorób spowodowanych zanieczyszczeniem powietrza umiera około 45 tysięcy osób. Choć większość z nas nie ma wpływu na zanieczyszczenia generowane przez zakłady przemysłowe, możemy działać dla czystego powietrza więcej niż nam się wydaje poprzez nasze codzienne wybory i pragmatyczne decyzje.

Breathing clean air adds energy, affects our well-being, allows us to concentrate better, gives us the opportunity to cope with greater effort, calms down, makes us relax better, we have a deeper and calmer sleep.
Clean air supports the self-cleaning of our body. Breathing clean air, we are less susceptible to infections and diseases, including lung diseases, asthma, heart attacks and strokes. Clean air has a clear correlation between the results of children and schoolchildren in science and various types of psychometric tests.

Air pollution is a major cause of global environmental threats. The definition of pollution defines it as any air pollution by substances that are injurious to health or dangerous for other reasons, regardless of their physical form. Burning fossil fuels, agricultural activities, mining operations are just some of the main causes of air pollution. Most often and most pollute the atmosphere: carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and dust.

Air quality sensors are available in both professional stationary stores selling electronic equipment and online stores. Prices depend on the number of functions and the accuracy of the measured parameters of the size and brand of the device.
