SURREY: The hazardous influence of indoor pollution on human health that exists inside the house is highlighted by a new study published in Journal Science of the Total Environment.
Dr Prashant Kumar of the University of Surrey held: “When we think of the term ‘air pollution’ we tend to think of car exhausts or factory fumes expelling grey smoke.
“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.
“From cooking residue to paints, varnishes and fungal spores the air we breathe indoors is often more polluted than that outside.”
The perilous consequence of indoor pollution was evaluated by a team work of Australian, European and UK researchers, led by the University of Surrey as to make recommendations to monitor effectively and contradict these impacts.
The study called for policies for monitoring air quality as well.
