Indoor Air Pollution – Why It Affects Us More Than the Air Outside

Saturday, December 5th, 2009

When we breathe inside our homes we don’t give a second thought as to how it affects our health – but the truth is that indoor air pollution is often more of a problem for us than the air outside of our homes!

Symptoms of Home Pollution

We are often unaware of what this pollution does to our bodies, to such an extent that many of us don’t even think of it. However, pollution can have a number of negative effects on our health, leading to symptoms such as…

Fever, Headaches, Nausea, Fatigue, Cancer, Irritability, Depression, Dizziness, Anxiety, Respiratory problems, And more!

The Sources of Indoor Pollution

Whilst our homes are becoming more insulated and helping to save us money on heating, this has a negative side effect in that it’s much harder for all of the toxins to escape. And these toxins can come from a wide range of sources, including natural ones.

One of the most worrying places that these toxins originate from is chemical products. You may not realise it, but just about all the products we use contain chemicals, such as our cosmetics, our detergents, cleaning products and perfumes.
