Source analysis of indoor air pollutants

Indoor air quality directly affects residents' health status. Many factors can lead to indoor air pollution in a home environment. Understanding these sources of pollution is crucial for taking effective air purification measures.
1. Household goods and building materials
Household items and building materials are among the primary sources of indoor air pollution. These products may contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during production, gradually released into the indoor air. Long-term exposure may lead to problems such as headaches, eye discomfort, respiratory diseases, etc.
2. Combustion products
Cooking, heating and other activities in the home can produce combustion products such as carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc. Especially when using gas stoves, if not adequately ventilated, these combustion products can accumulate indoors, posing a threat to human health.
3. Biological pollution
Indoor biological pollution includes mold, bacteria, dust mites, and their excrement. Wet environments are prone to mold growth, and pets' hair and dander can also become allergens. These biological pollutants not only affect the health of the respiratory system but may also cause allergic reactions, especially for children and older adults, who are more sensitive. In addition, if a family member has a cold, the flu virus may also spread indoors.
4. Outdoor pollutants entering
Pollutants in outdoor air may also enter indoors through doors and windows such as car exhaust and industrial emissions. Urban areas, in particular, need to pay attention to the impact of such pollution sources. In addition, outdoor dust and pollen can also impact indoor air quality, they may also be allergens. Wildfires can also be a very common source of outdoor pollution.
5. Second hand smoke
The second-hand smoke generated by smoking contains a large number of harmful substances and poses significant health risks to non-smokers. Second hand smoke can lead to various serious diseases such as heart disease and lung cancer, especially more significant harm to children.
Improvement measures
To improve indoor air quality, we can start from the following aspects:
Use products with low VOC content;
Strengthen indoor ventilation and maintain air circulation;
Install efficient air filtration systems, such as air purifiers;
Regularly clean and maintain the air conditioning system;
Reduce indoor smoking behavior;
Control indoor humidity to prevent mold growth.
Through the above measures, indoor air pollution can be effectively reduced, creating a healthier and more comfortable living environment for family members.
