Pollution from smoke that is released by many building around us is making ‘Air Pollution’. Keeping this a side there are some precautions that could improve our health and reduce this pollution. Researchers say millions of people are being killed with this air pollution.

With the survey conducted by Researchers team led by University of Surrey in the UK said the harmful effects of indoor pollution can be controlled by monitoring the outcomes.

“When we think of the term ‘air pollution’ we tend to think of car exhausts or factory fumes expelling grey smoke,” said Prashant Kumar from University of Surrey.

“However, there are actually various sources of pollution that have a negative effect on air quality, many of which are found inside our homes and offices,” said Kumar.

There are about 4.3 million deaths globally recorded indoor when compared with outdoor pollution which is about 3.7 million.

“From cooking residue to paints, varnishes and fungal spores the air we breathe indoors is often more polluted than that outside,” he said.

“It is essential that we are able to effectively monitor indoor air pollution so that we can better understand when and where levels are worst, and in turn offer solutions to make our air healthier,” said Kumar.

“Our work looks at the use of small, low-energy monitoring sensors that would be able to gather real-time data and tell families or workers when levels of pollutants are too high,” he said.

“With this research we are calling for greater importance to be placed on ensuring buildings are built with indoor pollution monitoring in mind,” said Kumar.

“As we enter the age of smart cities this is one way in which technology will actively benefit health. Most people may not even consider what they or their children are breathing when they sit down at their desks each morning.” he said.

“A combination of policy and technology will help ensure that while we are hard at work our buildings are also working to protect us from harmful pollutants that affect both mind and body,” he added.
