Indoor Air Pollution: A Silent Threat to Home Health and Respiratory Well-being

Indoor Air Pollution: A Silent Threat to Home Health and Respiratory Well-beingPreviousNext

Indoor air pollution poses a significant health risk, often exceeding outdoor levels due to everyday activities. Cooking, especially high-heat frying and using biomass stoves, releases fumes that contribute to chronic lung problems, particularly affecting women who have never smoked. Brooming and cleaning sprays also release irritants. This invisible threat leads to irreversible lung damage, with symptoms progressing subtly over time, making indoor air quality a critical, underestimated public health concern.
