HOME BASED POLLUTION
❖ Definition
Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into the environment. These
harmful materials are called pollutants. Pollutants can be natural, such as volcanic
ash. They can also be created by human activity, such as trash or runoff produced
by factories. Pollutants damage the quality of air, water, and land.
Indoor air pollution can cause big health problems. People who may be exposed to
indoor air pollutants for the longest periods are often those most at risk to the
effects of indoor air pollution. This includes children, older adults, and people with
long-term (chronic) illnesses.
Most indoor air pollution comes from sources that release gases or particles into
the air. Things such as building materials and air fresheners give off pollution
constantly. Other sources such as tobacco smoke and wood-burning stoves also
cause indoor pollution. Some indoor air pollutants have been around for years. But
they often were weakened by outdoor air seeping into the home.
❖ CAUSES OF HOME BASED POLLUTION
Here, I’ll talk on the causes of home pollution. We have as follows
Live sources
These include mold, mildew, cockroaches, and dust mites.
Other indoor pollutants
These are other common household air pollutants:
• Particulates. These include dust and pollen.
