Many of us believe that when the quality of the air outdoors is poor, staying indoors is always the best and the healthiest decision.
Outdoor air pollution has been gaining extreme focus and is widely studied and monitored for decades, but the condition of the air indoors, or the indoor air quality and its potential impacts are quite unrecognized. Most people spend 90% of time in enclosed spaces such as schools, offices, and malls where air pollutants can be 2 to 5 times or even 100 times worse than the contaminants outside. This puts us at a greater risk of experiencing health problems such as asthma, bronchitis, and lung cancer, which can seriously damage our productivity at work and the business’ performance.
Staying indoors won’t save us from air pollution, and unlike outdoor air pollution where air pollutants are obvious, indoor air pollution often hides behind the cool breeze released by our air conditioning systems, or the flowery scent from air fresheners, making this problem quite hard to detect.
Is there a part of you that wonders how polluted your indoor air is? Is there anything that you could do to make your indoor air quality better? Cultivating awareness about indoor air quality begins with basic, yet important questions like these.
This webinar on “Knowledge to Action: Learning The Value, Impacts, and Benefits of Maintaining Better Indoor Air Quality” happening on September 27, 2022, 4PM SGT, provides us information about indoor air quality, the components of the air we breathe indoors, its importance, effects, and the ways we can make indoor air quality better for our health, for our businesses, and for our planet.
