It’s difficult to accept the harsh reality that the air in our homes is polluted and poses risks of all manner of illness. Most people think that only the world’s largest cities face the problem of air pollution yet countries all over the world struggle with it. In a planet where the population is going up and the rate of industrialization is also up, we need to acquire the skills and devices to eliminate pollution-especially in our own homes.
Pollutants available in the air come from various sources and most of them are invisible, so you may relax thinking everything is okay. Sometimes a foul smell in the air will indicate the presence of harmful substances in the air. As noted, these pollutants may come from the most unexpected sources, such as pets and carpets. Air pollutants have been in homes for centuries, meaning the modern world has made the problem even worse with the thousands of chemicals and products that enter our houses.
