Winter means a rise in respiratory illness. Here’s a primer on indoor air quality
Let’s face it. We don’t get out much anymore. Estimates are that we spend over 80% of our time indoors. That may be in a vehicle, in the office or at home. For some people all three of those may mean the same thing. Isn’t indoor air all the same, and the real menace the fires that burn outside? Nope. Welcome to this primer on indoor air quality where you can learn how to breathe healthier air.
Indoor air has three types of pollutants: Gases, particulates, and microbes. Gases include carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Carbon monoxide nudges oxygen off red blood cells and leads to symptoms like headaches and nausea that are associated with less oxygen reaching the brain.
