What Is Indoor Air Pollution ?

Indoor air pollution is a common term used to describe the quality of air indoors, and whether it is polluted or not. Most people do not consider indoor pollution, and think they are exposed to the risks of air pollution only when they are outdoors. However, if we are not careful, then we can create the same polluted environment we have outdoors even our homes without knowing about it.

What Causes Pollution ?

When pollutants enter the environment, be it water, soil, atmosphere or water, and end up making the environment unsuitable for living organisms, then it is termed as pollution. Chemicals, heat, light, noise, smoke and fumes are all pollutants. Sometimes, some pollutants like heavy metals are naturally present in the environment but in low levels.
