Indoor Air Quality
In my research for a good quality air purifier, I came across this shocking statement about the quality of indoor air in our homes:
"In April 1995, the US EPA (Environment Protection Agency) released an article stating that the air within homes and other buildings can be more seriously polluted (up to 2-5 times more polluted) than the outdoor air in even the largest and most industrialized cities."
In my case, I never noticed it until my neighbor started his renovation work. All the extra saw dust and air-borned particles finally caused my body to object by sneezing and coughing.
I found this fact quite interesting - an average person inhales 62 pounds (or 3400 galons) of air per day - I can just imagine the work our respiratory track and lungs
have to do each day to filter out all the pollutants from the air we breathe each day.
It's sad, but I guess nowadays, a good quality air purifier is becoming a necessity instead of luxury. The price to pay for "advancement" and "industrialization" I supppose!
