Unfortunately not, the average home can be up to 5x (times) more polluted than the air outside and we now spend up to 90% of our time indoors.
As our homes become increasing well sealed, it may seem like we’re shutting pollution out. But the truth, were shutting it in. Weather we’re sleeping, cooking, cleaning or working - our time spent indoors is breathing in potential dirty air.
The types of invisible pollutants that can build up in your home include:
PM10 - Pollen and allergens
PM5.0 - Bacteria
PM2.5 - Industrial emissions
PM0.1 - Ultrafine particles
Formaldehyde - Carpets, rugs and flooring
Odours - Household fumes and cooking
Benzene and VOCs - Cleaning products and scented candles
Nitrogen dioxide - Gas stoves and car exhausts
